Pitaria boucaryensis, n. sp. Plate 31, figure 10 



Shell rounded quadrate, thin and moderately convex; pos- 

 terior and anterior extremities rounded, umbos rather large; 

 lunule small and feebly defined by a faint, impressed line; sur- 

 face of disk sculptured with about 40 even, distant, concentric 

 lamellae; interspaces generally smooth or irregularly sculptured 

 with growth lines; interior of shell concealed. 



Length 31, height 22, diameter (right valve) 10 mm.

 fossil Costa Rican Pitarias b}^ its more delicate and convex shell 

 and more distant, even, concentric lamellae.

 amples from the Ba}' of Panama. It is another instance among 

 the many which we have had occasion to note in the course of
