136 G. Nevill — New or little- known [No. 3, 



Mr. Hanley in his valuable and careful notes in the Con. Indica, 

 p. 34, has already noticed the confusion of two distinct species under 

 this name. 



Stenogyea (Glessula) pseudoeeas, n. sp 



Pfeiffer, Mon. Helic. Ill, 1853, as Achatina oreas, Benson, MS. Nilgiris — anfr. 

 7 (?), long. 12J, diam. 5 mil., not Ach. oreas, Reeve (as of Benson) 1850; Nevill, 

 Handlist, I, p. 168, as St. oreas. 



Nilgiri specimens collected by Mr. Blanford (which I take for my 

 type) measure — long. 11, diam. 5 [vix] mil. and are of six whorls only. 



Var. SUBDESHAYESIANA, nOV. 



Anfr. 6 ; long. 11, diam. 4|- mil. Type var. from the Anamullays, 

 coll. Colonel JBeddome ; also from the Pulney Hills, coll. Rev. Fairbank. 



Stenogyea (Glessula) jeedoni, Benson, MS. PI. V, Fig. 14 (Copy). 



Beeve, Conch. Icon. 1850, as Achatina jerdoni, Nilgiris — anfr. 7 to 8, long. 16, 

 diam. 6 mil. (ex icone). 



PL 78, fig. 10 of the Con. Indica represents a smaller form, of only 

 14 mil. and with the spire more produced and the last whorl a little less 

 convex. 



Stenogyea (Glessula) nilagieica, Benson, MS. PI. V, Fig. 15 (Copy). 



Beeve, Conch. Icon. 1850, fig. 87, as Achatina nilagirica, anfr. 10, long. 28, diam. 

 9 mil. (ex icone) ; Con. Indica, PI. 35, fig. 6, as Ach. perotteti (not Ach. perotteti, Pfr.). 



I have no doubt of the distinctness of Reeve's A. nilagirica and 

 Pfeiffer's A. perotteti, despite the fact that the former has been classed 

 as a variety of the latter by Dr. Pfeiffer ; I have now given copies of the 

 original type figures of both, which I think will convince most concho- 

 logists who have studied the genus. I have never seen a specimen of the 

 true typical St. nilagirica, described by Reeve as " finely crenulate at the 

 suture, then striated" &c. Colonel Beddome has, however, sent me specimens 

 of what I consider a variety, though a very distinct one. 



var. euenoolensis, nov. 



Anfr. 11 ; long. 30, diam 9| mil. 



Distinguished from both St. nilagirica and St. perotteti, not only by 

 its greater size and more numerous whorls, but especially by the (throughout) 

 regular and prominent striation, not crenulate at the suture ; from St. 

 vadalica, Blanford, which it perhaps even more closely resembles, in general 

 aspect at any rate, by the more abruptly tapering apical whorls, more 

 arched columella, &c.
