130. AchatineUa corrugata Gulick. 



A. corrugata Gk. Ann. Lye. New York, 1858, vi, p. 248, pi. viii, fig-. 66. 



Shell dextral, imperforate, ovate, solid, shining, striated, green; 

 apex subacute, pale ; spire convexly conic ; suture margined, mod- 

 erately impressed ; wdiorls 5 1-2, convex; the last rugose-; eolu- 

 mellar fold central, white, strong; aperture truncately auriform, 

 white within ; peristome thickened within, white, sometimes mar- 

 gined with brown ; with external margin scarcely reflected anteri- 

 orly; eolumellar margin dilated, adnate ; parietal margin wanting. 



Length 0.72 in. (18 1-3 mill.), breadth 0.40 in. (10 mill.). 



Length of body whorl 0.50 in. ( 13 mill.). 



Average weight 5.30 grains. 



Remarks. The color is often nearly black, and sometimes 

 reddish yellow. 



It has been placed by Dr. Newcomb with his A. decipiens, but 

 is more nearly allied to A. rngosa Nevvc. From the latter it differs 

 in its usually white lip, and the more convex outlines of its spire. 

 The color also fades gradually towards the apex, instead of termi- 

 nating abruptly in white, as in A. rngosa. Sinistral specimens 

 have been found. — Gk.
