from Mexico. I. have compared the description of V. seliivelyce 

 with that of the Mexican F. moreleti, Crosse and Fischer, and they 

 would certainly seem to be the same species, though the female 

 genital orifice of V. sclilvelyae is said to be more posteriorly situated 

 than that of V. moreleti. 



Distribution of Veronicella. 



(1) Neotropical Region. 



V. olivacea, Stearns, is reported from California, but it does not 

 appear to be native there. F. mariunita, Cousin, lately described 

 from Ecuador, is apparently identical with V. solea, d'Orb.

' In Madagascar we get a subgenus Imerinia (subg. uov.), which has the .sole 

 very narrow, not projecting posteriorly ; mantle above and below thickly im- 

 pressed-punctate, and above with scattered raised warts ; g orifiee postmedian , 

 not very near to sole ; median doi-sal line slightly impressed ; anterior right 

 edge of mantle sometimes tufted with red-brown bristles. This subgenus is 

 founded on some specimens from Imerinain the British Museum, which will be 

 described more fully elsewhere.
