1873.] MESSRS. GULICK AND SMITH ON NEW ACHATINELLIN.E. 73 



6. Descriptions of new Species of Achatinellinee. 

 By the Rev. John T. Gulick and Edgar A. Smith, F.Z.S. 



[Eeceived November 19, 1872.] 



(Plates IX. & X.) 



Of the following species, those to which the letters B.M. are at- 

 tached are represented in the collection at the British Museum by the 

 typical specimens. The specimens of the remaining species are in 

 the possession of Mr. Gulick, by whom the particulars of the habitats, 

 stations, and affiihaes have been furnished, and, I should add, who 

 is so well qualified to treat on this family, having restricted his 

 attention almost solely to it during a residence of several years in the 

 Sandwich Islands. 



ACHATINELLA. 

 ACHATINELLA CONSANGUINEA, Sm. (Plate IX. fig. 3.) 



Testa sinistrorsa (interdum dextrorsd), imperforata, nitida, incre- 

 ment lineis oblique et transversim (sub lente) subtilissime striata, 

 olivaceo virenti-cinereoque varie strigata ; anfract. ultimi dimi- 

 dium inferius castaneum coloribus prcecedentibus strigatum ,• sutura 

 distincte saturate fusco marginata ; anfract. 6^, convexi, primi 

 3g rubescentes ; apertura alba ; perist. intus fusco tinctum, albo- 

 que limbatum ; plica columellaris valida, rosacea. 



Long. 18 mill., diam. 10. 



Var. Testa spiraliler olivaceo obscure zonata. 



Station. Chiefly on the leaf of the Kii. 



Habitat. Ahuimanu, Island of Oahu. 



Affinities. This species passes into A. colorata, Reeve, which is 

 also found in Ahuimanu. It differs from A. colorata in the same 

 manner and proportion as A. adusta, Reeve, differs from A. producta, 

 Reeve. 



Remarks. About one third of the specimens are dextral. 



Achatinella longispira, Sm. (Plate IX. fig. 5.) B.M. 



Testa sinistrorsa, elongato-subconica, imperforata, nitida, incrementi 

 lineis et transversim subtilissime striata, Jiava, zonis angustis spi-

 stincte saturate fusco marginata ; anfract. 6|, convexi, primi 3| 

 albidi ; apertura longitudinis £ cequans, alba; perist. margine

Var. fi. Testa flava, zonis modo viridibus ornata. 



Station. On the Kukui and other trees. 



Habitat. Halawa, on the Island of Oahu, is the metropolis of the 

 species. Ahuimanu 1 a few specimens are reported by Mr. Frick 

 to have come from Ahuimanu. 



Affinities. This species is most nearly allied to A. analoga, Gk.,
