There is a Calocochlea of the same name, but later in date (0. 

 solida Pfr., MANUAL vol. vii, p. 153); but it will probably prove 

 to be a mere variety or synonym of C. roissyana. 



Group of C. pictor. 



Ovate species, generally covered with a creamy hydrophanous 

 cuticle, which is varied by oblique or zigzag stripes. 



C. PICTOR Broderip. PI. 4, figs. 38, 39, 40, 41. 



Imperforate, oblong-conical, varying from ventricose to elongated ; 

 solid. Ground color chestnut-brown, becoming purple on the 

 earlier whorls, or rarely becoming paler on the spire. Covered 

 with an opaque white cuticle which is variously marked with irreg- 

 ular stripes of the ground-color, these dark stripes often interrupted 

 and frequently absent on the latter half of the body whorl. The 

 light cuticle is eroded in front of the aperture. 



Spire elevated, apex obtuse; whorls 5?, the earlier ones purple 

 (rarely light brown), spirally striated. Aperture purplish inside, 

 oblique; peristome narrowly reflexed, dark purple-brown. Colu- 

 mella vertical, white. 



Alt. 46, diam. 28, oblique alt. of aperture 24 mill. 



Alt. 37, diam. 26, oblique alt. of aperture 22 mill.
