190 Original Descriptions of Achatinella. 



358. Achatinella reevei Adams. 



A. reeiei Adani.s. Ann. I.yc. New York, v, 1832, p. 44. 



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

 Hel. Monog. as a synonym of A. viiidans Migh., yet Mr. Reeve, 

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

 cies under the name of A. 7-adiata, 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 

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

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

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

 nearly allied to a group consisting of A. pulcherj-ima Swains., A. 

 castanca Rve., A. abbreznata Rve., etc. I propose for Mr. Reeve's 

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

 — Adams.
