Shell conically-elongate, solid; whorls 6, slightly rounded, mar- 
gined above; aperture elongately-ovate ; lip subreflected ; columella 
short, obliquely twisted, with an expanded callus ; suture slightly im- 
pressed; stricze numerous, longitudinal, oblique; colour white with 
yellow transverse bands, or yellow with white transverse lines, and 
longitudinal chestnut-coloured stripes. 
This species cannot be confounded with any other than the A. sub- 
virens in one of its varieties, the distinctive marks of which are given 
under that species. 
69. ACHATINELLA RUBIGINOSA (Pl. XXIV. fig. 69). A. testa 
dextrorsa, solida, ovato-conica; anfractibus 6, rotundis, supra 
marginatis ; sutura bene impressa ; labro subreflexo, interne in- 
crassato ; apertura ovata; columella brevi, fortiter dentata, cum 
callo expanso umbilicum obtegente ; colore ferrugineo-fulgente, 
cum vitta alba suturali ; columella et anfractus ultimi parte infe- 
riore et exteriore albidis.

Hab. Palolo, Oahu. 
Shell dextral, solid, ovately conical; whorls 6, rounded, margined 
above; suture well-impressed ; lip lightly subreflected, thickened 
within; aperture ovate; columella short, strongly dentate, with an ex- 
panded callus covering the umbilicus ; colour a bright reddish brown, 
with a white band accompanying the sutures; columella and lower 
and outer portion of last whorl white. 
This species passes into the white variety of A. teniolata of Pfeif- 
fer ; but in the latter species the mantle of the animal is of a dark 
slate-colour, and in the present species it is of a light flesh-colour. 
The markings are characteristic of the species, the rusty hue varying 
in intensity and quantity of surface covered in different specimens. 
70. ACHATINELLA VARIABILIS (Pl. XXIV. fig. 70). A. testa 
sinistrorsa vel dextrorsa, conico-acuminata, polita, nitente; an- 
Sractibus 6, rotundis, superne submarginatis ; apertura subovata ; 
columella brevi, tuberculo forti coloris rosei munita; labro ex- 
panso, acuto ; colore teste vario, albo, flavo, nigro, etc., unicolori 
vel cingulis sex minusve, colorum diversorum in anfr. ultimo or- 
nato.

Hab. Ranai. 
Shell sinistral or dextral, conically acuminate, polished, shining ; 
whorls 6, rounded, lightly margined above ; aperture roundly ovate ; 
columella short, armed with a strong tubercle of a roseate colour ; 
lip expanded, acute; colour of shell white, yellow, black and other 
shades, plain or with from one to six bands of various colours on the 
last whorl. ’ 
This is the most variable species in markings that has yet been 
found among the Achatinelle. It is extremely difficult to find two 
(except the plain ones) precisely alike in this respect.
