ABIDA. 317 



Pupa valcourtiami 'Bgt.' Loc. Shell cylindric, short, 

 rapidly tapering to the summit. Seven to eight slightly con- 

 vex whorls, the suture quite marked. Aperture oboval- 

 rounded, not contracted at base; 2 thin superior folds, the 

 first lodged at the suture, the second median and immersed ; 

 2 immersed columellars, the first one stronger; 3 palatals, the 

 first two reaching the peristome, the third small. Peristome 

 subcontinuous, feebly thickened, a little everted. Shell cor- 

 neous-red, a little glossy, slightly striolate. Length 6, diam. 



2 mm. Rare; clus de Saint- Auban (Alpes-Maritimes). Pupa 

 valcourtiana Brgt. in coll., Locard, t. c., p. 206. 



36. ABIDA ANCEYI (Fagot). PL 45, fig. 10. 



Shell minutely perforate, subfusiform-elongate, conic, cor- 

 neous-rufous, glossy, pellucid, hair-striate (the striae oblique, 

 irregular, in the last whorl distant and disappearing) . Spire 

 long, acuminate, the apex obtuse, mamillate. Whorls 10, the 

 first convex, the rest a little convex, slowly and regularly in- 

 creasing, separated by a well-impressed suture; the last 

 whorl slightly larger, ascending at the aperture, and a little 

 compressed around the perforation. Aperture oblique, ob- 

 long-rounded, 7-plicate: parietal plicae 2, the angular tuber- 

 culose, the other deeply placed, rather strong; 2 columellar 

 plicae, rather remote in the throat, the upper one less remote ; 



3 palatal plicae, the inferior small, remote, the middle one 

 strong, elongate, projecting nearly to the outer margin, the 

 upper not marginal, long and interrupted. Peristome thick- 

 ened, expanded throughout, the margins remote, subequal. 

 Length 7, diam. iy 2 to 1% mm. (Fagot).

"This new species, discovered by M. Ancey, to whom it is 

 dedicated, belongs to the group of Pupa mortitteti and 

 micheli; but it is separated from the former by the more deli- 

 cate dentition, from the second by the different dentition, and 

 from both by the slimmer shape, recalling that of Pupa gra- 

 num" (Fagot). 



There is no spiral lamella. The upper and lower palatal 

 and the basal plicae are all strengthened into rather strong
