328 ABIDA. 



Dalmatia : Budoa, on low ground near the sea. 



Pupa fusiformis KUESTER, Conchyl. Cab., Pupa, p. 83, pi. 

 12, f . 4, 5 ; with var. minor, p. 84, f . 6, 7 ; Ber. Nat. Ges. Bamb., 

 ix, 1870, p. 96. PFEIFFER, Monogr., ii, 340 ; iii, 546 ; iv, 672 ; 

 viii, 382. Not Pupa fusiformis C. B. Adams, 1845 (Man. 

 Conch., xvi, 25). 



More slender than cylindracea Ziegler, with sharper apex, 

 very indistinctly striate, with white-edged suture and only 

 two complete palatal plicae (Kuester). 



Var. puella n. n. PI. 45, fig. 17. Less lengthened, with 

 nearly the same width, the aperture somewhat larger, more 

 projecting, rounded, the folds less strongly developed, so that 

 only the third emerges to the lip ; the columellar reflection is 

 rather wide, and forms a small umbilical fissure ending in a 

 puncture. Length 4^, diam. 114 lines (Pupa fusiformis var. 

 minor Kiister) . 



As the names fusiformis and minor are preoccupied in Pupa, 

 I have changed both. 



41. ABIDA EXIMIA (West.). 



Shell obliquely rimate, subfusiform, very lightly obliquely 

 striatulate, glossy, rufous-corneous. Spire slowly tapering 

 from the middle up, with the apex rather acute ; suture hair- 

 like, somewhat marginated. Whorls 11-12, the upper smooth, 

 the following a little convex, the last four nearly flat; last 

 whorl slightly ascending in front, subcristate-compressed at 

 the base. Aperture vertical, truncate-oblong; parietal wall 

 having a strong angular lamella and a second lamella, thin 

 and deeply immersed. Columella highly and deeply, equally 

 bidentieulate. Palatal plicae 3, externally conspicuous, the 

 upper short, the second (usually) and the third (always) 

 emerging to the margin ; below them the rudiment of a fourth. 

 Peristome a little expanded, thickly lipped with white or 

 flesh-colored, the margins subparallel, the outer margin usu- 

 ally thickened at the insertion. Length 14, diam. 4% mm. ; 

 aperture with peristome 4 mm. long, 3% wide (Pfr.). 



Habitat unknown.
