By Hugh C. Fulton.

Papuina tayloriana. Ad. & Rve., n. sub-sp. dampierensis, Fulton. 



From the typical tayloriana this new form is distinguished by its 

 smaller size, less-compressed aperture, and rose-coloured peristome. 

 The surface is finely corrugated and crossed by oblique lines above 

 and spiral below, a characteristic of the tayloriana group. The keel 

 of the last whorl is narrowly margined with white, the apex is dark 

 purple -brown, and there is a narrow line of the same colour at the 

 suture of the whorls, the remainder of the external surface being of 

 a yellowish-brown, similar to typical tayloriana. Five specimens 

 all similar.
