LAND SHELLS OF VICTORIA 117 



series of examples I am confident that it is but an individual varia- 

 tion." Iredale, Aust. ZooL VIII, pt. 4, p. 328, 1937, has made 

 Helix subrugosa Legrand the type of his new genus Kannaropa. 



Charopa jewimysensis sp. nov. (PL 9, Fig. 1). 



Shell small, discoidal, light horn-colour, widely umbilicated, distinctly dis- 

 tantly ribbed. Apex slightly sunken. Whorls, including protoconch, about 

 four and one half, convex, last whorl slightly descending. Sutures well impressed. 

 Sculpture consisting of subecpiidistant radial ribs about thirty two on the ulti- 

 mate whorl; interstices bearing minute and numerous growth-lines, reticulated 

 by fine microscopic spiral stria*. Protoconch finely radially ribbed. Aperture 

 oblique, rotundly lunate. Peristome simple, acute, callus on the previous 

 whorl distinct, concealing several of the ribs. Umbilicus deep, exposing all the 

 volutions and on which the radial sculpture may be clearly seen. 



Size of Type. — Maj. diam., 2-5; min., 2-2; alt., 11mm. 



Locality — Type, near Jemmy's Point, Lakes Entrance (Self) ; 

 Mitchell Gorge one specimen (C. Oke) ; Tarra Valley one speci- 

 men (C. Oke). 



Observations. — This ornate little species may not be confused 

 with any Victorian form. Its nearest ally is ('. subrugosa Brazier, 

 a shell of somewhat similar sculpture, but from which it may be 

 distinguished by its much flatter form. Considerable variation 

 exists as regards colour, one specimen appearing almost an 

 albino. Found at the first named locality a little above tide mark 

 under logs and decaying leaves. Type in collections of National 

 Museum Of Victoria. Reg. No. F. 1054. 



Charopa ilhislra sp. nov. (PI. 9, Fig. 2.) 



Shell small, discoidal, light brown, umbilicated. Whorls, including proto- 

 conch about four and one half, fairly-regularly radiately ribbed, about eighty 

 appearing on the ultimate whorl which is slightly descending. Interstices 

 microscopically finely reticulated. Sutures well impressed. Aperture broadly 

 lunar. Peristome acute. Inner lip with a shining white glaze covering sev- 

 eral of the ribs. Umbilicus moderately wide, deep, showing all the volutions 

 and with the radial sculpture easily discernible. 



Size of Type. — Maj, diam., 31; min., 2-5; alt., l-3mm. 



Locality. — Type with several paratypes found under logs at 

 end of north arm, Lakes Entrance (Self). 



Observations. — This species may be confused with H. legrandi 

 Cox from Tasmania but is readily distinguished by its smaller 

 umbilicus. A similarity to Charopa tarravillensis (mihi) appears, 

 the novelty being a much flatter shell. Type in collections of the. 

 National Museum of Victoria. Reg. No. F. 1056. 



Charopa oheana sp. nov. (PL 9, Fig. 3.) 



Shell small, thin, discoidal, umbilicated, closely ribbed, light brown with 

 numerous, very faint, subequidistant, radiating reddish-brown colour bands.
