18 FLAMMULIXA. 



Animal carrying the shell subcentrally, mantle edge slightly 

 reflected over the peristome of the shell, with an even margin ; tail 

 depressed, rounded, with a mucous gland (Hutt.') 



Jaw delicate, more or less arcuate, with numerous vertical plaits, 

 which generally crenulate the lower margin (pi. 2, fig. 14, F. cornea- 

 fulva. PL 2, fig. 1 8, F. chiron.} 



Dentition: Rhachidian teeth with the mesocone well developed, 

 ectocones small (absent in corneofulva}. Lateral teeth similar to the 

 central. Marginal teeth tricuspid (sometimes 4-cuspid), in some 

 species the cusps coalescing on the outer teeth (pi. 2, fig. 16, F. 

 corneofulva. PL 2, fig. 17, F. ehiron.) 



Distribution : New Zealand and Lord Howe Island. 



The contour of the shell is between Hyalina and Vitrina, and in 

 texture it is nearly as fragile as the latter. Both striped and uni- 

 colored species occur. In typical Flammulina the surface is smooth 

 and polished. In the section Calymna Hutton (Tr. N. Z. Inst. 

 xvi, p. 199, 1884), the surface is finely striated. PL 3, figs. 20-22 

 represent G. costulata Hutt., the type of Calymna.

Subgenus HEDLEYOCONCHA Pilsbry, 1893. 



Shell perforated, trochiform, keeled, thin, with oblique riblet* and 

 minute spiral lines. Aperture angu late-lunate, peristome simple, 

 thin, slightly expanded at the columella. Type H. delta Pfr. 



Animal 13 mill, in length, 'color white almost translucent ; pos- 

 terior part of body sharply keeled, terminating in a mucous gland; a
