358. Achatinella reevei Adams. 



. I. reevei Adams. Ann. I.yc. New York, v, 1S52, p. 44. 



Although the name A. radiata Pfr. appears in Dr. Pfeiffer's 

 Hel. Moiiog. as a synonym of A. viridans Migh., yet Mr. Reeve, 

 in his beautiful monograph of this genus, has represented this spe- 

 cies under the name of A. radiata, and has given another species 

 with Dr. Mighel's name. Dr. Mighel and myself about the same 

 time received this very distinct species, and having seen it in his 

 collection, I cannot doubt the correctness of Dr. Pfeiffer's syno- 

 nymy. Some other specimens before me appear to be very exactly 

 represented by Mr. Reeve's figure of A. viridans, and are most 

 nearly allied to a group consisting of A . pulcherrima Swains., A. 

 castanea Rve., A. abbreviata Rve., etc. I propose for Mr. Reeve's 

 A . viridans the name which stands at the head of this paragraph. 

 — Adams.
