COCHLOSTYLA-ORTHOSTYLUS. 



This species differs from C. ventricosa midfulgetnnn in having a 

 dark purple-brown lip, as well as in some peculiarities of color 

 pattern, and in the usually purple apical whorls. I have never 

 seen specimens with dark-banded ground color (save a narrow colu- 

 mellar band), and this will probably prove another distinctive char- 

 acter. The variation in contour, as well as in size is considerable. 

 Fig. 38 is drawn from the most globose specimen before me, fig. 41 

 from one of the most slender. 



C. SOLIVAGA Keeve. PI. 3, fig. 30.

 cose, not umbilicated ; whorls 6, smooth ; columella a little thick- 

 ened, arched ; lip reflected. Deep chestnut-purple, covered through-

This species is known by the original example only. It is prob- 

 ably allied to C. pictor. 



The description of Pfeiffer is as follows ; Imperforate, turrited- 

 oblong, solid, black-chestnut, covered with an ashy-white cuticle 

 which is here and there streakedly interrupted. Spire elongate- 

 conic, apex obtuse, chestnut. Whorls 5=}, a little convex, the last 

 a little shorter than the spire, obsoletely angled, the base nude. 

 Columella rather straightened, narrow, fiat, pale lilac. Aperture 

 oblique, lunate-oval, livid-lilac inside; peristome simple, subex- 

 panded, lilac colored. Alt. 42, diam. 33 ; aperture, alt. 22, width 

 14 mill. (P/r.)
