BULIMUS.—Plate LXXI. 
lip reflected ; white, conspicuously irregularly painted 
with longitudinal light-brown and purple-chestnut 
ribands, interior of the aperture and behind the lip 
purple-black. 
Hal. Banks of the Maranon near Balsas, Peru (on 
branches of a species of Jatropha) ; W. Lobb. 
This fine species is of a delicate cream-white, striped 
longitudinally by distinct ribands of light brown and dark 
purple chestnut, without any of intermediate tint. Im- 
mediately behind the lip there is more of the dark purple- 
chestnut, approaching to black, and the interior of the 
aperture is coloured with the same, having a somewhat 
metallic hue. 
I have the pleasure to name it in honour of Mr. Lobb, 
botanical collector of Messrs. Veitch & Son, the eminent 
nurserymen of Exeter, to whose zeal in the pursuit of na- 
tural history, the species of this, and the two following 
plates, bear honourable testimony.
