Another name for the form is P. /. var. minima Kreglinger, 

 Syst. Verz. Deutschl. Binnen-Mollusken, 1870, p. 192. 



Var. curta Issel. Shell small, ventricose, short, with the 

 aperture somewhat triangular. Debris of the Arno, Prov. of 

 Pisa (Tuscany). Pupa frumentum var. curta Issel, Moll. 

 Pisa, in Mem. Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat., ii, pt. 1, 1866, p. 21. The 

 name had previously been used by Potiez and Michaud and 

 by Kiister for forms of frumentum. 



Form primula West. Shell still more entirely cylindric, 

 conically tapering only at the apex, whitish, pellucid, densely, 

 regularly striatulate. Whorls 11, the upper slowly increasing, 

 middle ones equal, the last small, subtriangular as seen from 

 the left side, retracted below. Aperture small, the angular 

 lamella very thin and short, parietal lamella deep, two palatal 

 plicae very long, the lower marginal. Length 9%, width 2 mm. 

 Hungaria at Trencsin-Teplicz. (Pupa (Torquilla) f rumen- 

 turn Drp. var. cylindricea Em. form primula Westerlund, 

 Nachrbl. d. Malak. Ges., xxiv, 1892, p. 193.) 



In Synops. Moll. Extramar. Reg. Pal., 1897, p. 80, Wester- 

 lund says: "palatal plicae 4, the first deeply placed, thin, 

 second and fourth very thin, scarcely conspicuous, third sub- 

 emerging, long." 



Abida frumentum hungarica (Kimakowicz). PL 42, fig. 5. 



"Distinguished by the constantly wanting or only very 

 weakly developed apertural callous [behind the outer lip], 

 and the obsolete, somewhat less regular striation of the shell. 

 In form and size it agrees with the type form. The angular 

 lamella is always simple and at most somewhat thickened in 

 front. 



"The shells vary somewhat in shape and in the more or 

 less distinct striation. Often, especially in the northern local- 

 ities, a callous on the neck is indicated, or the lamellae and 

 plicae are better developed, but in these places there are always 

 transitions to the typical var. hungarica. The size varies from 

 length 5.7, diam. 2.5 mm. to 10.3 x 3.3 mm." (Kimakowicz).
