CYPRiEA coccinelloides. 
TAB. CCCLXXYI1I. — Fig. h 
Spec. Char. Ovate, spheroidal, transversely 
striated ; striae numerous, acute, not interrup- 
ted ; aperture slightly arched, not contracted 
in the middle. 
Strongly resembling Cyprsea Coccinella, (Lamarck 
Hist. Nat. VII. p. 404. C. Europcea Leach. C. Pedicu- 
lus Linn.) but rounder, and distinguished by the lip 
which is more uniformly convex, and does not contract 
the middle part of the aperture : like that recent species, 
it is smooth when young ; its size is that of a pea. 
CYPRiEA retusa. 
TAB. CCCLXXVI1I. — Fig. 2. 
Spec. Char. Obovate, sphaeroidal, transversely 
striated; striae elevated, uninterrupted, few, 
remote; aperture a little curved at the 
narrowest end. 
R eapily distinguished at first sight from the last, and 
indeed every other analogous species by the paucity of 
its strife, which are seldom more than eight, assisted by 
its short, almost gibbose form : it is of the same size as 
C. coccinelloides. 
CYPRJEA A veil an a. 
TAB. CCCLXXVI1I. — Fig. 3. 
Spec. Char. Obovate, sphaeroidal, transversely 
striated; striae numerous, remote, elevated, 
interrupted by a longitudinal sulcus; aper- 
ture a little curved at the narrowest end. 
Considerably larger than either of the precedin g, being 
as big as a hazel nut ; the thickened Sip forms a slightly 
projecting margin ; the striae that cross it ore rather
