251. Achatinella nigrolabris Smith. 



Aniaslia nigrolabris Sin. P. Zool. Soc. London, 1873, p. 85, pi. x, fig. g. 



T. dextrorsa, globoso-conica, perforata, parum nitida, longitudinaliter 

 rugose (baud spiraliter) striata, saturate nigro-fusca, suturam infra zona lata 

 dilute sordido-carnea cincta ; anfract. 6 1-2, primi 3 1-2 subplani coeteri con- 

 vexi ; sutura baud marginata, apertura alba ; perist. margine tenui nigro- 

 purpureo, intus leviter, limbatum; columella rosea, plica la mi nte for mi basali 

 (et interdum tuberculis 1-2) munita. Long. 20, diam. 12 mill. 



Shell dextral, globose-conic, perforate, hardly shining, longi- 

 tudinally roughly (not spirally) striated, dark black-brown, en- 

 circled below the suture with a broad, pale, dirt}^ flesh-colored 

 band; whorls 61-2, first 31-2 somewhat flat, the rest convex; 

 suture not margiuate; aperttire white; the thin margin of the lip 

 black-purple, lightly thickened within; columella rose, furnished 

 with a lamina-like basal fold (and sometimes with 1-2 tubercles). 



Affinities. It is allied to Ajh. spirizona Fer., which is con- 

 fined to another range of mountains, is found almost exclusively 

 on the ground, and has a spire somewhat convex, while this is 

 regularly conical. — Sm. 



Remarks. This species is invariably dextral. — Sm. 



Hab. The metropolis of the species is Wahiawa. It is also 

 found in all the valleys from Kalaikoa to Waimea.
