GRANOPUPA. 343 



Commandant Caziot mentions Majorca among the localities 

 for philippiij but if living there, I suspect that it was im- 

 ported from Italy. 



This widely distributed species has the spire less attenuate 

 above than in rhodia, and there is usually an angular lamella. 



3. GRANOPUPA NITIDA ('Fer.' Kiister). PL 48, fig. 3. 



The shell is small, with a short, rather widened umbilical 

 crevice, fusiform, obtuse, very finely rib-striate, very glossy, 

 reddish horn-brown, strongly translucent, thin. The 6 whorls 

 are strongly convex, separated by a very deep suture, the first 

 wart-like, the rest increasing in height rather rapidly, the 

 penult almost wider than the last. The neck is hardly flat- 

 tened, with two whitish spots, the base but little compressed. 

 Aperture large, rounded, higher than wide, almost rounded 

 quadrangular, rust-yellow, with 4 folds, one each on the colu- 

 mella and deep in the parietal wall, 2 very unequal on the 

 palate, the upper long and rather strong, the lower remote 

 and punctiform. Peristome acute, but little expanded, with- 

 out lip, angularly produced above, the margins much converg- 

 ing. Length 2 1 / 4, diam. % line (Kuester}.

A lost species. Possibly it may be a rather large philippii 

 without an angular lamella; yet as that form and its allies 

 had been worked over carefully by Kiister (C. Cab., pp. 32, 

 33), one would expect a recognition of that well-known species 

 from him. The locality given by Anton was probably wrong, 

 as the shells of Switzerland are rather well known, and no 

 subsequent author has recognized nitida, so far as I know. It 

 has also some resemblance to spelta Bk., particularly to the 

 var. obscura. This is not "Pupa nitida AntonelW of Sow- 

 erby, Conch. Iconica, xx, pi. 17, fig. 174. His figure looks like 

 Columella edentula (Drap.).
