PUPOIDES, AFRICA. 133 



given a quite good representation of this form under the 

 name of fallax. 



' 4 The cethiopicus was collected by M. A. Raffray on the 

 high plateaux of the Hamacen and Anderta as well as upon 

 the col of Abouna Yousef, where it lives under stones and 

 rubbish" (Bgt.).

 sinie, 1883, p. 62. 



Jickeli's figures are copied. I cannot judge of the value of 

 the characters noted as distinguishing this from sennaarensis 

 having seen neither. In shape it appears to resemble the 

 Arabian form described as ragius Jouss. 



14. PUPOIDES FABIANUS (Gredler). 



Shell oval-elongate with conically tapering spire, blunt at 

 the apex, thin, strongly translucent, horn-yellow, with a fine 

 silken luster; the 5 whorls are rather convex, superficially 

 and irregularly striate, the last moderately large. Umbilical 

 crevice distinct, a little oblique. Aperture large, oblique, 

 oval, obliquely truncate by the parietal wall above. Peristome 

 nearly right-angularly reflected, with a narrow white lip 

 within, shortly and flatly expanding, sharp-edged; the inner 

 margin not dilated, the outer margin arcuate, curved in at 

 the insertion, a contiguous, rudimentary short fold on the 

 parietal wall. Length 2, breadth 1% lines (Gredler).

It appears to be a wider and more delicate shell than P. 

 sennaariensis. Has not been figured, and was not compared 

 by its author with any other Pupoides. 



(East Africa.) 



These species, known to me only by the following descrip- 

 tions, have not been compared with those of other regions. 

 Preston's species were not compared with those of Taylor, 

 or with P. coenopictus.
