other characters, mark it out as distinct from any other. The Sa- 

 perda obliqua of Donovan is not unlike it. The hairs fringing the 

 inside of the antennae are whitish ; while the eyes are nearly divided 

 into two portions, the connecting part being very small. I must say 

 I do not see any very trenchant characters to separate Nyphona and 

 Saperdopsis or Sympheletes, Newm. In one Lamia (L. pedicornis), 

 the great spine proceeding from the trochanters is a sexual character, 

 possessed to a greater extent (and considerably curved) by a curious 

 Longicorn from the Aru Islands, which will doubtless be described 

 by my friend Mr. Pascoe, who studies the Longicorns so much, and 

 who has described so many. In this the tibise of the fore legs are 

 curved and have a spine at right angles to the tibia and near its tip. 

 In the genus Platymopsis, established by Buquet in the ' Archives 

 Entomologiques,' the head is flatter and broader than in Sympheletes. 

 As we have not the ' Archives ' in the British Museum, I can only 

 quote it on Mr. Pascoe's authority. The head in S. (PI.) armatuhis 

 is widish and hardly notched.

 Collection of Mrs. de Burgh. By Lovell Reeve, 

 F.L.S., F.G.S. 



Bulimus deburghi^e. Bui. testa elongato-ovata, crassiuscula, 

 parum ventricosa, intense ccerulescenti-viridi, infra suturas 

 flavicanti-viridi abrupte interrupta, strigis flavsidis longitudi- 

 nalibus oblique undatis subdistantibus ornata, linea nigra 

 spiraliter decurrente ; anfractibus sex, declivi-convexis, lcevibus t 

 apertura parviuscula alba; labro rejlexo ; columella eburne a ^ 

 valide implicata. 



Long. 2f in. Lat. 1^ in. 



Hab. Peruvian side of the Amazon. 



A fine solid shell, encircled by a broad dark-green band, which 

 suddenly stops short within a quarter of an inch of the suture, where 

 the shell is yellowish-green, and it is crossed obliquely with yellow 

 lightning-marks, which on reaching a thin black spiral band become 

 narrower and more numerous. The columella, which is strongly 

 plaited, and the aperture, are of a shining porcelain white. 



Bulimus peelii. Bui. testa elongato-ovata, subfusifdrmi, bast 

 effusa, albida, maculis undatis ferrugineo-griseis albipunctatis

 naliter plicato-striatis ; columella subappressa et oblique con- 

 torta vivide aurantiaca ; apertura parviuscula, depressa ; labro 

 tenuiter rejlexo, intus vivide aurantiaco.
