192 PUPILLA, ASIA. 



I collected it in the Tordaer Felsspalte with P. muscorum 

 and P. cupa. Dr. Wagner took it on the Friedhofsmauer 

 Marktschelkens im Kokelthal. A larger form of the same 

 was taken by Jetschin in the Schlosspark von Ahrenfels bei 

 Honningen near Neuwied in the Rheinprovinz (Pupilla tripli- 

 cata Stud. var. bibaca Kimakowicz, Verh. u. Mittheil. Sieben- 

 biirg. Ver. Nat. in Hermannstadt, xl, 1890, p. 107). 



P. triplicata suboviformis Boettger. There is a three- 

 toothed form represented by 7 examples, which I can distin- 

 guish from my Tyrolese specimens of P. triplicata Stud, only 

 by the diminished size, about 2 mm. long, nearly iy 2 broad, 

 and by the more ovate than cylindric shell. It comes from 

 Mamudly in Transcaucasia. I agree entirely with 0. Rein- 

 hardt in his identification of Mousson's P. signata var. par- 

 vula with this or some very closely related form of P. tripli- 

 cata (Pupa (Pupilla) triplicata Stud. var. suboviformis 

 Boettger, Jahrb. D. Malak. Ges., vii, 1879, p. 26). 



Pupa signata var. parvula MOUSSON, Journ. de Conch., xxiv, 

 1876, p. 39 (not Pupa parvula Desh., 1864), is described thus: 

 Smaller, iy 2 -2 mm., thinner, less labiate, palatal tooth de- 

 pressed, sometimes accompanied by another obsolete one, colu- 

 niella deeply and minutely subnodulose. Borschom, Trans- 

 caucasia. 



P. triplicata luxuriant (Eeinh.). PL 21, figs. 19, 20. With 

 two palatal folds. Borschom, Transcaucasus (Reinhardt, 

 Jahrb. D. Malak. Ges., iv, 1877, p. 79, pi. 3, f. 2. BOETTGER, 

 Jahrb., vi, 26 ; vii, 137. 



III. ASIATIC SPECIES. 



Besides the following species, P. muscorum, no. 7, and P. 

 cupa, no. 13, are widely distributed in northern Asia. P. polta- 

 vica occurs in European Russia, and various forms of P. sig- 

 nata in the Caucasus. 



Series of P. signata (Section Primipupilla) . 



In this group the lip is usually broad ; typically the angular, 

 parietal, columellar and two palatal teeth are present, but 

 there has been reduction in some species, the palatals and
