Hab. Almorah, Kemaon, Western Himalaya ; Capt. Boys.

Communicated to Mr. Benson by Capt. Hutton with the 
title Pupa strigata, of which the specific name is occupied 
in the present genus. 
Species 571. (Mus. Benson.) 
This fine species, which I have the honour to name 
after a gentleman who has afforded me much valuable 
information on the Bulimi of Bengal, Afghanistan and 
North Western India, is closely allied in general aspect 
to the B. zebra. Its chief point of difference consists in 
the minute waved-striated semigranular sculpture which 
characterises the entire surface of the shell, whilst the 
design of painting is marked by the presence of two white 
bands, painted with dark purple arrow-head spots, pointing 
towards the lip.
