TORNATELLARIA. 263 



corded from Kauai or Lanai. Desiring to clear up the ques- 

 tion of its identity with T. newcombi Pfr., I submitted speci- 

 mens to Mr. Edgar A. Smith of the British Museum, where the 

 types of Pfeiffer's species are deposited. He reported that 

 T. dncta differs by the more robust parietal and columellar 

 lamellae, narrower umbilicus and more angular last whorl 

 (Ancey). 



Unfortunately Mr. Ancey did not designate the type lot 

 of this species in his collection. There are two lots named 

 by him, the first from Lahaina, West Maui, and the second 

 from Kaupakalua, East Maui. There are unnamed lots in 

 his collection from Makawao (1) and Kaupakalua (6) E. 

 Maui, and from Lahaina (1) W. Maui. The junior author has 

 selected the Makawao lot (no. 18500 Bishop Mus.) as the type 

 (p. 55, fig. 1). Although not labeled, it is the only species of 

 Tornatellaria in the Ancey collection from this locality, the 

 locality first mentioned in his description. The finest speci- 

 men in this lot has 8 whorls and measures, length 5.1, diam. 

 2.5, axis of apert. 1.8 mm. Parietal lamella 0.33 mm. in 

 height. These measurements agree fairly well with those given 

 by Ancey. Fig. 2 is from a Mapulehu example. A specimen 

 in the Ancey collection from lao Valley (Bishop Mus. 18473) 

 measures length 4.7, diam. 2.25, axis of apert. 1.8 mm. We 

 have been unable to find typical specimens of this species from 

 Hawaii or Oahu in the Ancey collection. The fossil material 

 identified by Ancey for Henshaw as T. cincta is referable to 

 T. henshawi rather than to T. cincta, and has been placed with 

 the former species. There is no doubt that these two species 

 are very intimately related. 



In T. cincta the umbilicus is from 1/7-1/10 of the diameter 

 of the shell. The parietal lamella is very minutely serrate 

 along its edge. In immature specimens though the columellar 

 folds are very nearly equal, the lower is slightly more strongly 

 developed. The spiral striae of the embryonic whorls are low 

 and indistinct.
