170 PHASIANELLA. 



P. CAPENSIS Dunker, 1846. PI. 39, figs. 86-88. 



Shell small, ovate-oblong, subacute, solid, usually brown or rosy

Cape of Good Hope-, Mauritius. 



P. KOCHI Phil., 1847. PI. 37, figs. 37, 38. 



Shell short-ovate, solid, with short conic spire; whorls 5, rapidly 

 increasing, convex, the last large ; aperture large, roundly ovate ; 

 columella flattened; color deep rose, sometimes yellow, above with 

 light flammules radiating from the sutures, below with a revolving 

 serrate light band, the entire surface minutely mottled with white 

 and rose. Alt. 9 mill. 



South Africa; Mauritius; Port Jackson, Australia (Anyi*.} 



The markings above described are occasionally obsolete. There 

 are several flesh colored specimens before me. Fresh shells some- 

 times show ill defined revolving striae. It is extremely similar to 

 P. pulla in coloration, but is more globose. Probably this species 

 and P. capensis will prove to be identical, the latter name having 

 priority. Both are, I believe, quite distinct from P. pulla L. 



P. AFFINIS C. B. Adams, 1850. PL 39, figs. 1, 2. 



Shell pointed ovate, elongate, rather thin, smooth, shining; spire 

 conic, of about 5 rather convex whorls, separated by well impressed 

 sutures ; apex acute, rose colored ; aperture oblique, oval, outer 

 lip thin, translucent; columella with a white callus which is some- 

 what distended at the slightly impressed and grooved sub-perforate 

 or imperforate umbilical region ; color white, yellow or pale rose, 

 more or less clouded longitudinally with rose, orange or brown, 

 sometimes only with subsutural and peripheral series of short 

 flammules, the entire surface closely and regularly punctate with pink 

 or wanye, and white. Alt. 8, diam 4 mill.
