166 STRAMONITA. 



less interrupted spiral red or chestnut revolving lines, obsoletely 

 striate, denticulate on the lip. Length, 40 mill. 



Gulf of Paria, Trinidad, IF. 7. 



Said to resemble P. mancinella, but with a sharper spire and 

 more decided striation. It has not been figured, nor have I 

 seen it. 



P. COCCINEA, Anton. 

 P. BICONICA, Anton, 



Both said to belong to the P. armigera group; not figured, 

 nor identified by subsequent writers. No locality given. 



Subgenus Stramonita, Schum. 

 P. CONSUL, Lam. PI. 49, figs. 74, 79. 



Yellowish, usually with narrow brown revolving lines ; aper- 

 ture orange color. Length, 2*5-5 inches. 



Philippines. 



Reeve has attempted to show distinctive characters in a large 

 form with short tubercles, and has calle^ it P. gigantea (fig. 79). 

 I have before me a series which completely connects this form, 

 however, with the sharply tuberculate P. Consul. 



P. LUTEOSTOMA, Chem-n. PI. 49, figs. 77, 78, 81. 



Yellowish brown, mottled or longitudinally waved with dark 

 chocolate ; aperture yellow or orange within, sometimes banded 



with brown lines. Length, 1 '5 2*25 inches. 



Loo Choo ; Japan. 



The undulatory character of the tubercles reminds one of P. 

 hippocastaneum ; it is distinguished from that species, however, 

 by its yellow mouth and thin outer lip. 



P. Capensis, Petit, said to have been collected by M. Verreaux, 

 at Cape of Good Hope, is evidently the same species ; the figure 

 which I copy, does not agree well in coloring with the descrip- 

 tion. 

 P. RUSTIOA, Lam. Pl/49, figs. 75, 76. 



White, marbled with purplish brown or red ; aperture fiesh- 

 color or yellowish. Length, 1*6-2 inches. 



Philippines (Cuming) ; Insl. Apiana, Polynesia (Pease). 



P. marmorata, Pease (fig. 76), appears to be the same species,
