1 74 PHASIAXELLA. 



In old specimens the color pattern is very faint. The radula is 

 that of Tricolia. Central teeth broad-oval, submembranous ; later- 

 als 5-5, with very broad, expanded peduncles ; cusps short, armed 

 with several large acute subequal denticles ; outer two laterals nar- 

 row. Specimens are in the collection of the Philadelphia Academy, 

 the IT. S. National Museum, and the collection of Mr. John Ford of 

 Philadelphia. 



P. HUTTONI Pilsbry, 1888. Un figured. 



Shell smooth, polished ; aperture rounded ; color bright glossy 

 rose, generally with oblique white rays ; whorls 6 i. Alt. 6 mill. 



Auckland. 



Described by Hutton as Rissoa flammulata. This specific name 

 is several times preoccupied in Phasianella. 



P. ROSEA Angas, 1867. PI. 39, fig. 92. 



" Shell minute thin, shining, ovate, of a uniform deep rosy color 

 throughout ; whorls 4, somewhat flattened at the upper part, then 

 convex ; columella white ; edge and outer lip stained with a line of 

 dark rose." (Angas.) Alt. 3, diam. 2 mill. 



Coodgee Bay, ^Y. S. Wales ; Tasmania. 



One of the specimens before me has a subsutural series of short

P. DELICATULA Tenison-Woods. Unfigured. 



" Minute, tumidly ovate, aperture longer than spire, smooth, shin-

 white lines, and ornamented with broad flames of clouded chestnut 

 proceeding from sutures; aperture broadly ovate, columella white, 

 conspicuously margined with a spotted olive line ; base convex, 

 with punctate lines ; operculum bluish white." 



Alt. 3i, diam. 2 mill. 



Long Bay, Tasmania. 



First named P. pvlchella Tenison-Woods, but changed on account 

 of the preoccupation of that name. The author suggests that it

P. PYGM^A Phil., 1848. PL 39a, fig. 15. 



"The shell is solid for its minute size, loug-conoidal, perforate, 

 smooth, shining, white, decorated with a few pale yellow flecks and 

 numerous red points. The whorls, of which I count 5*, are almost 

 cylindrical, and more deeply separated than in any other species ;
