GUDE : NINE NEW SPECIES OF HELICOID LAND SHELLS. 13 



Charopa oehracea, n. sp. 



PI. iv, figs. 8a— 8c. 

 Shell uinliilicated, lenticular, finely ribbed, pale ochreous, opaque, rather thin. 

 Whorls 4^, convex above, subangulated at the periphery, rounded below, spire 

 flattened, suture channelled. Aperture a little oblique, subauriculate, margins 

 approaching ; peristome straight, acute : upper margin a little inflected, colum- 

 ellar arcuate, slightly dilated ; umbilicus perspective. 



l)iam. 2.5 millim. ; alt, 8. 



Hall. — Artillery Point, New Caledonia. 



Type in Mr. Sykes' collection. 



Eiidodonta ( h-iun aiodoni quadridens, n. sp. 



PI. iv, figs. 9a — 9d. 



Shell umbilicate, lenticular, fulvous corneous, finely striated, thin, trans- 

 lucent. Spire depressed, suture deep, apex obtuse. Whorls 4, convex, 

 refunded at the peripher)', last whorl not descending in front. Aperture 

 scarcely oblique, semilunatc, margins convergent, united by a thin callus ; 

 peristome scarcely thickened, columellar margin slightly dilated, ^^'ithin the 

 aperture occur on the parietal wall two slender entering lamellae, at first 

 parallel, Init becoming anteriorly elevated and divergent ; on the parietal wall 

 near the peristome four denticles : two on the outer margin, the first thin and 

 conical, the second flattened semicircular, parallel with the peristome ; one 

 on the basal margin, thin, conical : one on the columellar margin, flattened 

 semicircular and also [)arallel with the peristome. Umbilicus moderate, 

 showing three-quarters of the i)enultiinate wh(jrl. 



Diam. 1.5. millim. ; alt 0.5. 



Hah. — Artillery Point, New Caledonia. 



Type in Mr. Sykes' collection. 



The nearest ally is E. iff^rhe.-iiana, Crosse, but that species has one broad 

 tooth on the columellar margin and four conical denticles on the basal and 

 outer margins. 



Chloritis linterae, n. sp. 

 PI. iii, figs. 5a — 5d. 



Shell widely umbilicate, dark rufous above, lighter below. Spire plain, a[)ex 

 sunken, suture channelled. \\'horls 4|, the first 24 increasing slowly, the 

 last widening rather suddenly and slightly dilated at the mouth, obscurely 

 angulated aliove, tumid below, obscurely angulated round the latter 

 half of the wide umbilicus, which is steeply sloping near the mouth ; finely 

 striated under a deciduous cuticle, densely covered with short stiff bristles, 

 arrangcil in (juincunx. Last whorl deeply descending in front. Aperture 

 semiquadrate ; peristome thickened and reflexed, margins slightly convergent 

 and united by a thin callus ; upper margin angularly curved, fuscous, ascend- 

 ing shortly at first, then de.^cending, outer margin also fuscous, rounded ; 

 columellar whitish, straight, dilated antl .^lightly overhanging the umbilicus.
