" THE number of species described by authors who cannot determine their
affinities increases annually, and I regard the naturalist who puts a described
plant into its proper position in regard to its allies as rendering a greater
service to science than its describer when he either puts it into a wrong place
or throws it into any of those chaotic heaps, miscalled genera, with which
systematic works still abound." — Sir Joseph Hooker, Flora Brit. Ind., i, vii.

In the volumes treating of Bulimiforra snails I shall follow the
plan of the several later volumes on Helices, endeavoring to make
the identification of species as easy as is possible in the present con-
dition of conchological science. Although the descriptions are
constructed upon a model differing slightly from that of PfeifFer,
and in a tongue less terse, still I have aimed at the concise style and
directness of the great German; and when the material before me
rendered it possible, tables or "keys" have been introduced, to
further lessen the tedious labor of specific identification.

A classification of the entire group with anatomical details will
be presented upon the completion of the volumes descriptive of the
shells, as it seems convenient to make such division rather than to
lengthen the text by the inclusion of a consideration of the soft
anatomy. As in the Helices, the general classification of Bulimi
seems to require fundamental reformation ; and in many cases
characters never before used in their taxonomy are herein con-
sidered diagnostic of groups. The resulting re-arrangement of
species greatly modifies zoogeographic inferences based upon the
older groupings, and it is believed throws new light upon the prob-
lems of animal distribution.

Shell ovate, more or less lengthened, always much higher than
wide ; of moderate or large size, with 4 to 7-i whorls. Apex obtuse.
Several earlier whorls forming the large nepionic shell (or part form-
ed within the egg), which is usually sculptured differently from the
post-natal portion. Post-uepionic shell consisting of 2* whorls or
less. Aperture vertical or nearly so, much higher than wide ; per-
istome reflexed, expanded, or simple and obtuse; columella with a
convex fold or simple. Type S. pudicus Miiller.

Soft parts externally as in Helicidce (Manual IX, p. xxviii),
but labial processes more strongly developed, lobed. Genitalia of
the Protogonous type, but with an appendicula as in Panda and
Caryodes. Jaw completely solid, smooth or ribbed. Radulain gen-
eral as in Helicida1, the rhachidian and lateral teeth unicuspid by
fusion of the cusps, marginals, or some of them, with an ectocone
added. Reproducing by large oval or oblong hard-shelled white
eggs. Habits terrestrial.

Distribution, tropical and temperate South America and some
adjacent islands. Mainly east of the Andean watershed.

The genus Strophocheilus represents, in our opinion, a line diver-
gent from the early PROTOGONA, probably allied to the Australian
forms of Old World large-egged Helices which we have called
1

Macronyona (Man. Conch. IX, pp. xxxii, 148). These Bulhni
are, therefore, just as genuine Helices as the genera Polygyra,
Acavus or Panda. The tendency to separate "Bulimoid" from
" Helicoid " genera seems in the light of present knowledge a wrong
one ; and it is daily becoming clearer that the character of shell-
contour is of quite secondary value.

From the above definition and synonymy, the critical student of
malacology and its literature will at once and rightly conclude that
the present group is not only different in name from the genus
" Bulimus" as defined in Die Heliceen, Die Binnenmollusken Ven-
ezuelas, etc., but that it differs widely in limits also. Plekoeheilus,
Eurytus and Pachyotus formerly classed here, have been removed.
The former two have small eggs and consequently far smaller
nepionic shells, flagellum-bearing penis, finely plaited jaw, etc., — all
features which effectually sunder them from the Strophocheilus and
Borus group. The distinction is not only visible to the anatomist,
but the comparative size of the embryo at time of extrusion from
the egg offers a good conchological feature observable in any spec-
imen having the spire perfect and unworn. Pachyotus is a group
reproducing by minute eggs and having various differential char-
acters to be more fully discussed later.

History of the names Bulinus, Bulimus and Strophocheilus.

1757. ADANSON, in his Histoire Naturelle du Senegal, Coquil-
lages, p. 5, pi. 1, Genus II, describes and figures under the name
" Le Bulin. Bulinns " a small fresh-water snail like a Physa but with
even-edged mantle, and belonging to the genus of Planorbince now
known under the names Bulinus, Ameria, Physopsis, etc. The ety-
mology of Bulinus is unknown, for most of Adansou's names are
new arbitrary combinations ; but it is likely that the French word
Bulle was its basis. As Adanson's names are not Linnrean in form,
and were published before the period universally adopted as the
starting-point of binomial zoological nomenclature, it is obvious that
they can properly have no bearing, whatever, upon modern nomen-
clature. When revived by post-Linnsean authors, they must date
from the time of such revival, without reference to Adanson's prior
use. Any other course would admit Adausonian names for a large
proportion of the Linnrean and Lamarckian genera.

STROPHOCHEILUS. 6

PoST-LlNN^EAN.

1777. SCOPOLI, in the Introductio ad Historiam Naturalium,
restricts the genus Helix of Linnseus, and proposes BULIMUS
ADANS. Testa univalvis, non umhilicata ; apertura ovali. Mollus-
cwn tentaculis binis, basi appendiculatis ; puncto ophtalinoide dis-
tincto aut radical! SWAMMERDAM. Tab. IX, Fig. 4.

" Helix ptitris,fragilis, stagnalis, tentaculata LINN, nee non alias non
paucre terrestres Cl. MULLERII."

The figure of Swammerdam referred to as representing the char-
acters of animal, represents a Dutch Limncea, species uncertain, prob-
ably stagnalis or palustris. The Linnrean species cited are : Helix
putris (==SuGcinea amphibia Auct.), H. fragilis and stagnalis (=
Limncea), and H. tentaculata (=Bythinia). It ivill be noted that no
land shells are named. This is the first appearance of the name
Bulimus in scientific literature.

As Scopoli quotes the name as of Adanson, it has been surmised
that " Bulimus " was a typographical error for " Buliuus." Whether
this was the case or not would have absolutely no effect upon our
use of the name, for (1) Scopoli's group does not rest upon Adanson
for its elucidation, nor does he refer to Adanson's page or plate ; (2)
that it was a typographical error cannot be proven ; it may have
been an emendation on etymological grounds, and Scopoli's subse-
quent use of the same orthography would show it to have been a
deliberate change; and finally (3) Adansou being pre-Linnsean can-
not prejudice properly proposed post-Linna^an names.

It would appear that Bulimus Scopoli, by the process of elimina-
tion, must replace the generic name Bythinia. Conf. Dall, Trans.
Wagner, Free Inst. Sci. iii, p. 334, and Smith, P. Z. S., 1893, p. 636.

1781. O. F. MULLER, in Der Naturforscher, pp. 1-20, Geschi-
chte der Perlen-Blasen, gave an exhaustive account of Physafontin-
alis (Planorbis bulla Miill.) with figures, noticing particularly the
digitated mantle-edge, etc. and proposing to restrict Planorbis to the
flat shells, and adopt the Adansonian name Bulinus for the length-
ened forms, of which he enumerates :

1, BULINUS perla, the present " Perlen-Blasen."
Planorbis bulla. Verm, test., 353.

2, BULINUS turritus.

3, B ULINUS gelatinus.

Planorbis gelatinus. Verm, test., 355.

4, BULINUS senegalensis.

ADANS. Hist. Nat. de Seneg.p. 5, t.l.

Although Miiller includes Adanson's species in his group, it must
distinctly be remembered that his description applies to Physa ; and
it is only by disregarding his real idea of the structure of the snails
that we can restrict the group to the last species.

However this question may be settled, the fact remains that the
name Bulinus was first introduced in binomial nomenclature by
Miiller in 1781 ; and his clearly expressed intention was to apply
it to what is known as Physa.

1786. SCOPOLI introduces the genus Bulimus again, to contain
B. hamastomus, giving a figure which has been referred to Borus
oblongus but which looks as much like the rarer species B. gran-
ulosus.

This later use of the name by Scopoli is not accompanied by a
generic diagnosis, and being nine years later than his first publica-
tion, cannot stand. Bruguiere, Lamarck and other early authors
have followed Scopoli's later work, ignoring the earlier ; and the
name Bulimus has thus come into universal use until this time.

SUMMARY. — From the foregoing sketch, we conclude:

(1). That BULINUS Adanson must be absolutely ignored in
nomenclature.

(2). That BULIMUS Scopoli, 1777, will stand as a valid genus, and
the name must replace either Succinea, Limncea or Bythinia, prefer-
ably the last.

(3). BULINUS Miiller, 1781, stands as a generic name for either
Bulinus of authors (Fischer, Man. p. 509) or for Physa Drap., 1801.

(4). That the use of the term Bulimus by Scopoli in 1786, and by
subsequent authors, and the use of Bulinus by Broderip, Sowerby
and others during the present century, has no bearing upon the
questions at issue.

1827. The name STROPHOCHEILUS was applied in MS. by Spix,
to two species collected by him in Brazil, hcemastomus Spix and
almeida Spix. Wagner, in his work on the Spix collection and
MSS., places these names in the synonymy under Bulimus ovatus and
Bulimus pudicus. On the plate there is a double inscription, the
names given by both Spix and Wagner appearing. It is perfectly

STROPHOCHEILUS. 5

-clear that Spix intended his group to contain Bulimi with reflex ed
or turned-over lip (whence the name). The group has been adopted
by Albers-Marteus, Pfeiffer and others with almeida (pudicus) as its
type, and may be considered firmly established. All other generic
or subgeneric names founded upon members of the genus (as here
constituted) are considerably later, 1850 to 1860. For their history,
see references under the several subgeneric captions.

Subdivisions of Strophocheilus.

Strophocheilus, in the enlarged generic sense in which it is herein
used, consists of four groups of species, moderately distinct in appear-
ance, but difficult to define clearly.

Subgenus I, STROPHOCHEILUS Spix.

Shell ovate-oblong, brown or white and rose under a yellow
cuticle ; surface smoothish with microscopic spirals or closely malle-
ated and wrinkled ; outer lip well reflexed and recurved ; columella
reflexed, the fold inconspicuous.

Subgenus II, BORUS Albers.

Shell ovate, capacious, solid, the spire short ; outer lip either
thickened or reflexed, whitish or roseate; columellar fold low orin-
•conspicuous.

Subgenus III, DRYPTUS Albers.

Shell ovate or elongated, solid, dark brown or zebra-striped, the
surface rather smooth ; lip varying from slightly expanded to re-
flexed, white or brown. Columellar fold conspicuous or weak.

Subgenus IV,.THAUMASTUS Albers.

Shell long-ovate, with lengthened spire, striate or wrinkled, some-
times decussated ; streaked or banded. Aperture small, less than
half the shell's length ; outer lip blunt, not expanded or reflexed;
columellar fold weak or imperceptible. This group includes Orph-
mis Alb., preoccupied.

Hel. 1860, p. 191, type B. almeida Spix. — Comclus ALBERS, Die
Hel. 1850, p. 147.

Shell ovate-oblong, subperforate and solid, brown, or white and
rose under a yellow cuticle. Surface smoothish to the eye or finely
rnalleated, the lens showing close minute spiral strice throughout (ex-
cept in S. pudicus}. Nepionic shell large.

Aperture long-ovate, the lip broivn or rose colored, well reflexed
and recurved, often with a tooth within, columella reflexed, the fold
inconspicuous, not thickened. Type S. pudicus Mull.

This group contains a number of Brazilian species of moderate
size, allied to Borus in the large nepionic shell. Strophoeheilus
differs from Plekocheilus, Eurytus etc. in having the nepionic shell
proportionally large, post-nepionic whorls two or slightly less; while
those groups have a much smaller nepionic shell, often very indis-
tinctly demarkeav, and more post-nepionic whorls.
The subgenus consists of two groups of species :
I. Strophoeheilus (s. str.). Shell malleated ; no spiral stripe,

8. pudicus.

II. Coniclus Alb. (restricted). Shell sculptured with minute spiral
stripe,
a. Surface of body-whorl finely malleated throughout.

b. Obese ; peristome and parietal wall dark brown ; outer
lip toothed, unidentatus*

bb. Oblong ; peristome rose and white ; lip not toothed,

erythrosoma.
aa. Surface smooth or hardly malleated, lip roseate.

b. Brown, with satiny bands ; spiral stripe beaded ; earlier

whorls spirally striated ; lip not toothed, milleri.

bb. Yellow and rose ; earlier whorls vertically striated ; outer

lip toothed, planidens.

bbb. Chestnut colored, with zigzag streaks and spots of golden ;.

outer lip not toothed, rhodocheilus.

S. PUDICUS Miiller. PI. 19, figs. 37, 38.

Shell oval-oblong umbilicated, rather solid, roseeate under a thin-
pellucid yellowish cuticle, the rose often fading to white on the back
of last whorl. Surface coarsely and irregularly netted with close Ion-

gitndiiKtlund more spaced transverse wrinkles, spire (nepionic whorls)
closely and regularly rib-striate, first whorl planorboid, smooth.
Whorls 5, convex, the last obliquely descending.

Aperture decidedly over half the shell's length, lilac within ; per-
istome very broadly expanded reflexed and recurved, white or lilac-
tinted ; its face rounded. Columella widened above, the inner edge
faintly convex; parietal callus whitish, more or less translucent,

This species approaches Plekocheilus in sculpture, differing from
8. planidens and milleri in lacking spiral striation. The large nepio-
nic shell, however, shows that the species is most nearly allied to
the forms here following. The lip varies from white to rose in
color.

S. PLANIDENS Michelin. PI. 22, fig. 50.

Shell perforate or closed, ovate-oblong, rather solid, shining, green-
ish- or brownish-yellow, slightly transparent, the spire pink. Sur-
face smooth except for growth-lines and densely crowded microscopic
incised strice, somewhat waved ; the whorls of spire obliquely, densely
striate. Whorls 5, the first planorboid, forming an obtuse apex ;
the last whorl obliquely descending, suture falling more rapidly to-
ward the aperture.

STROPHOCHEILUS.

Aperture over half the shell's length, nearly vertical, bluish-white
inside; perixtome rose-red, abruptly, flatly reflexed (the whorl con-
tracted behind it), outer lip bearing a small, flat-topped tooth in the
middle. Columella reflexed, rather narrow ; parietal callus roseate.

Specimens occur with the tooth of the outer lip much reduced or
even absent; but these are still readily distinguished from S. milleri
by the flat lip, contraction of whorl behind it, less oblique columella
and lack of satin zones. There is occasionally a very slight retic-
ulate malleation on the back.

S. RHODOCHEILUS Reeve. PI. 22, fig. 53.

Shell scarcely perforate, ovate-oblong, solid, minutely decussate-
granulate, shining ; chestnut colored, elegantly decorated with light-
ning-streaks and triangular spots of golden. Spire convex-conic, the
apex obtuse. Whorls 5, first subplanulate, penultimate more con-
vex, the last whorl obliquely descending, longer than the spire,
hardly attenuated toward the base. Columella somewhat folded, re-
ceding, whitish. Aperture a little oblique, obloug-semioval ; per-
istome deep rose color, expanded and reflexed throughout. Alt. 55,
diam. 25 mill. : alt. of aperture with peristome 31, width 21 mill.

planidens.

S. MILLERI Sowerby. PI. 22, figs. 54, 55.

Shell nearly imperforate, ovate-oblong, rather solid, shining;
chestnut or olive-brown, darker on spire; surface with the sheen of
watered silk or satin, having spiral zones of changeable luster. Sur-

face under a lens showing very minute and close, finely beaded spiral
strice throughout. Whorls 5, the first planorboid with sunken tip,
forming an obtuse apex ; last whorl obliquely descending.

Aperture about half the shell's length, somewhat oblique, purplish
within ; peristome reflexed, recurved, deep rose colored, broad and
spreading below ; columella expanded above, its inner edge straight
and oblique; parietal callus bluish. Alt. 57, diam. 31 ; alt. of aper-
ture 29 mill.

The granulose stride and satin zones of the surface distinguish this
from S. planidens, aside from the tooth and differently formed col-
umella of the latter.

S. UNIDENTATUS Sowerby. PI. 22, fig. 56.

Shell imperforate or nearly so, ovate, swollen, solid and strong;
part roseate, part white, under a yellowish-brown cuticle. Surface
having inconspicuous growth-lines, a shallow malleation, and dense
microscopic spiral striation. Whorls nearly 5, the first planorboid,
the last obliquely descending, large and oval.

Aperture somewhat oblique, small, somewhat over half the total
length, white inside ; peristome reflexed and recurved, dark brown
throughout, the outer lip bearing a whitish tooth-like nodule in the
middle. Columella narrow, hardly wider above, foldless ; and
together with the rather heavy parietal callus, dark brown through-
out. Alt. 53, diam. 32 mill. ; aperture measured outside peristome,

A rare species. The sculpture is like 8. erythrosoma, differing
from planidens in being malleated. The tooth of outer lip, brown
peristome and obese form readily distinguish the species.

10 STROPHOCHEILUS-BORUS.

S. ERYTHROSOMA 11. Sp. PI. 22, figS. 51, 52.

Shell nearly imperforate, ovate, solid and strong ; part roseate,
part white under a yellow cuticle. Surface having inconspicuous
growth-lines, a fine, shallow malleation, and dense, microscopic spiral
striation. Whorls 4|, the first planorboid, the last obliquely descend-
ing.

Aperture oblique, small and narrow, somewhat over half the shell's
length, white inside ; peristome reflexed, recurved, thick, rounded on
the face, rose-color, but white at the outer-basal portion; there is a
perceptible thickening at the middle of the outer lip, but no tooth.
Columella roseate, narrow below, reflexed and recurved, hardly
widened above, and foldless. Parietal callus heavy, rose-colored to-
ward the margin, white within, the white extending upon the inner,
upper part of columella. Alt. 53, diam. 28 mill.; aperture meas-
ured outside peristome, alt. 28, width 18 mill.

Brazil (J. G. Anthony),

Differs from S. pudicus in the micro-sculpture, thick lip and nar-
row aperture ; from planidens and milleri in the malleation, etc. It
is more nearly allied to unidentatus, which has the same sculpture,
but the spire is slenderer and more produced, mouth narrower, lip-
not dentate and differently colored.

S. POPELAIRIANUS NjSt. PI. 1, fig. 1 J pi. 2, fig. 1 ; pi. 3, fig. 10.

Shell very large, solid, riraate, ovate-conic ; spire subregularly
tapering, the penultimate whorl somewhat bulging, last whorl de-
pressed on the back. Dark reddish-brown or rich chestnut with nar-
row darker streaks and a lighter margin below the suture; the
earlier whorls dull reddish, apex white. Surface covered with a
strong cuticle, shining. Nepionic shell distinctly marked, with 4
whorls, sculptured with strong narrow radial riblets, which on fourth
whorl become obsolete toward suture below. Succeeding whorls 2,
having growth-wrinkles and a dense but rather irregular spiral
granulation which fades out upon last whorl, which is more coarsely
sculptured by lengthwise wrinkles and has generally more or less
coarse spiral malleation. Sutures deep, the last decidedly more
oblique.

Aperture about half the shell's length, trapezoidal, white with a
livid tint within. Outer lip well reflexed, white (or light-brown
edged), convexly curved ; columella white, reflexed, and in the im-
mediate vicinity of its insertion spreading upon the whorl and con-
tinued in a strong white callus across the parietal wall. Near the

This rare species has the sharp, close riblets of earlier whorls, and
the dense granulation of those following, as in 8. popelairianus; but
it is apparently quite distinct in the smaller angle made bycolinnella
with parietal wall, and the much broader spread of the reflexed col-
umella upon the adjacent umbilical tract of body-whorl. It is also
rather more elongate with smaller mouth ; and there seems to be no
callous nodule upon the upper part of parietal wall, such as occurs
in S. popelairianus.

S. SANTACRUZII d'Orbigny. PI. 4, fig. 3.

Shell narrowly ovate-conic with rather slender, and comparatively

removed purplish-red, with a white baud below the suture. Spire
regularly tapering ; suture somewhat constricting, the latter part of
penultimate whorl rather bulging. Nepionic shell composed of 3f
whorls, the first one smooth, the others with strong narrow radial
riblets, which on the latter half of the last nepionic whorl hardly
reach the suture below, and become unequal, every second, third or
fourth riblet being stronger and much longer than those intervening.
Following whorls less than two, irregularly wrinkle-striate ; penult-
imate and antepenultimate whorls finely spirally granulated.

The comparatively short, blunt, rounded spire is the most prom-
inent feature distinguishing this species from the several preceding,
with which it shares a pear-shaped mouth, continuous parieto-col-
umellar lip, and the long, narrow ribbing of superior whorls.

The B. lencostoma of Sowerby is believed by Dr. von Martens to
be identical. It is from the same collector (the botanist D. Mat-
thews, locality Prov. Xagua, Peru), and is described by Sowerby as
follows: "Shell ovate, ventricose, wider in front, obtuse behind;
whorls 4, the first longitudinally subsulcate, the last large, smooth,
olivaceous-brown throughout, the suture paler, crenulated; aperture
oblong, acuminate behind, peritreme reflexed, white; length 2'6,
width 1'4 inch." This species was afterward figured by Sowerby in
the Conchological Illustrations, f. 59, as Bulinus mahogani.

Granting the identity of the forms described by Orbigny and
Sowerby, the question of priority arises. Orbigny's description bears
date July 1, 1835 ; Sowerby's, Dec. 9, 1834 ; but as it is known that
the Proceedings of the Zoological Society appeared in print very
long after the dates of the meetings, there is no conclusive evidence
that the name leucostoma has precedence ; and its subsequent disap-
pearance from English literature renders its use inadvisable, even
if identity with mathiusii were proved, unless its priority be demon-
strated.

more as in B. wathitisii. Ground-color of these whorls is a rather
reddish moderately dark brown, the sutural hand narrow and yellow-
ish, spiral striatiou only seen by strong magnification. On the
fourth whorl the spiral striation is more distinct, the riblets change
rapidly to close flat wrinkle-striae, and numerous spiral series of very
small rounded granules appear, which continue to become more dis-
tinct upon the following whorls to the aperture. The last whorl and
aperture are narrower below than in B. mathiusii, the suture ap-
pressed ; peristome white, somewhat thicker, but not reflexed, the
columellar margin less curved, parietal callus thicker. (Martens').

In many respects similar to B. durfeldti, especially in the upper
whorls, but the riblets somewhat weaker, so that^it is doubtful
whether the species may not technically be placed in the group of

acteristic. This species, like B. popelairianus, is depressed on the
back. It differs conspicuous!}' from that species in the weak sculpture
of the earlier whorls. The last whorl when examined with a strong
lens, shows an excessively fine, dense longitudinal striolation, some-
what less distinct than in B. proximus, but of the same character.
This is an excellent distinctive character of these species, which does
not occur in the popelairianus-granulosus series, nor indeed in any
other group of Borus.
S. CANTAGALLANUS Rang. PI. 16, fig. 24 ; pi. 17, figs. 28, 29.

Shell large, ovate-conic, olivaceous-brown with some dark streaks
on body whorl, becoming dark purple on the spire ; the suture
bordered by a wide light band. Nepiunic whorls with weak, spaced
radial riblets ; penult, and next earlier whorls with spiral series of
minute granules ; last whorl showing coarse low, inconspicuous spiral
cords especially above, and under a very strong lens seen to have an
excessively dense, fine sculpture of wavy longitudinal anastomosing
raised lines. Aperture over half the shell's length, pear-shaped,
purplish-tinted inside; outer lip well curved, narrowly reflexed,
thickened, white. Columella white, dilated above; parietal callus
strong, white, generally with a callus nodule above.

The micro-sculpture of the last whorl is peculiar and very charac-

teristic. I have four specimens of this species before me, and from
a study of them and the literature, it seems to me impossible to make
any separation between cantagallanus and proximus.

Var. INTERCEDENS Martens. PI. 10, figs. 53, 54.

Shell ovate-elliptical, the larger part of the penultimate whorl dis-
tinctly granulated, but gradually passing from dark reddish-brown
to brown-yellow, the last whorl evenly convex, with numerous
malleations or hammer-stroke-like impressions, forming spiral series ;
shining brownish-yellow, with numerous narrow darker streaks, the
suture less oblique than in ovatvs, whitish, an indistinctly defined
band under it gamboge yellow. Aperture pear-shaped, somewhat
narrowed below ; peristome thick, pure white ; outer lip beautifully
curved; columellar margin arising bow-shaped from the basal mar-
gin, and passing obliquely into the parietal wall above, here being
flattened, not cord-like ; outside edge thick, appressed. Parietal
wall with a thick porcelain-white deposit, sharply defined outside as
in B. valenciennesi, not so thin and outwardly attenuating as in
ovatus ; having in the superior angle a nodule-like swelling on its
edge. Length 110, breadth 69 , greater diam. 72, lesser 55 -^ mill. ;

It is not possible for me to recognize any described species in this
specimen. While the surface features of the last whorl are very
similar to B. ovatus, the general form is between that species and 7>.
cantagallanus ; the slender form of the apex, and the characters of
the peristome agree better with the preceding species than with
ovatus. (Martens).

Three specimens with the locality " Brazil " only, are before me,
two of which are figured on plates 19 and 20. It is unquestion-
ably a species distinct from B. ovatus v. chionostomus, being dis-
tinguished by the more conic spire, closer and narrower folds of
early whorls, aperture distinctly wider and more truncate below, the
outer lip not vertical but sloping outward ; columella less vertical,
being oblique and passing without distinct angle into the parietal
wall. It is also less expanded, not suddenly spreading as in ovatus.
Moreover, the callous lump of the parietal wall is strongest at the
edge of the parietal callus, which is not thinned out as in ovatus.
For the rest, there are no very decided differences, although the
cuticle in gummatus is of a varnish or gummy brilliancy, the spiral
cords are quite obvious, and the malleation is not of the pattern seen
in ovatus and is less pronounced.

S. OVATUS Miiller. PI. 12, figs. 60, 61.

Shell large, solid, oval; chestnut-brown with numerous darker

first smooth, planorboid, the following radially costate, costee separ-
ated, short, and minutely spirally granulate, post-nepionic whorls 1%,
at first densely granulated and slightly malleated, the last whorl
without granulation, glossy, finely malleated all over.

Aperture much exceeding half the length of shell, acuminate-
ovate, narrow and acute above, narrowly rounded below; peristome
pink edged ; outer lip curved at upper insertion, then rather straight,

This is one of the best-known species, readily recognized in typical
specimens by the strong, glossy, rich dark chestnut epidermis with
numerous darker and yellowish streaks, the narrow aperture, rather
straight, pink or pink-edged outer lip, translucent edged parietal
callus, always thinned-out at the edge, etc. Moreover, the lip is
broadly reflexed, recurved ; and the columella is narrowly, abruptly
curved toward its base, and the broad spread of its reflexion extends
lower than in other forms. A very sparce, minute granulation
sometimes extends over the earlier half of the body-whorl.

I cannot follow von Martens in quoting here Ferussac's plate 160,

color, as 8. ovat.un. The striping of these is like IS. gummatus Hid.,
but the form of the mouth is exactly as in ovaius, not obtuse below
as Hidalgo's species is.

This species is nearly allied to B. ovatus in characters of aperture
and upper whorls, but differs much in the general contour, the last
whorl embracing a much smaller portion of the preceding, is of less
circumference, and falls more toward the mouth. In consequence,
the aperture is notably longer and in comparison narrower ; the
outer lip for two-thirds of its length slopes outward, while in B.
ovatus only the upper third so slopes, the rest falling vertically ; the
thickening in the middle of the outer lip usually seen in ovatus is
lacking also. The columellar margin is decidedly longer and almost
straight. As only one specimen was secured, it may be only an in-
dividual variation of ovatus; but it is more likely to prove to be
geographically sundered, as no true ovatus is yet known from this
Province. (Afart.*)

Evidently belongs to the ovatus group, but differs from that species
in the smaller mouth and white lip, the columellar reflexion not con-
tinuing so far downward, etc. The strongly developed tubercle with-
in the outer lip is characteristic.

I refer to this species a pair of solid, heavy shells before me
collected by Anthony on Agassiz's expedition to Brazil, one of
which is figured on pi. 16, fig. 26. Traces only of a yellow, streaked
cuticle remain. The aperture is under half the shell's length, wide
and truncate below ; outer lip with a median somewhat lobed callous
tooth ; columella with a lump above. Alt. 84, diam. 50 mill. ; alt.
of aperture 40 mill.

S. OOSOMUS Pilsbry, n. sp. PI. 18, figs. 32, 33.

Shell short-oval, globose, solid and strong, with thin straw-yellow
cuticle having occasional narrow brown streaks, the shell-substance
under it white toward the base, reddish-brown above, with a wide whit-
ish sutural band. Spire short; sutures deeply impressed, the last
one oblique, the surface below it somewhat " puckered "or wrinkled
as in B. ovatus. Whorls 5J, the first planorboid, smooth, white, the
second having strong curved radial ribs separated by intervals of
about their own width ; and about the middle of the third whorl
these ribs become more spaced and shorter, not extending to the
suture below ; the surface at the same time becoming densely gran-
ulated spirally. Post-nepionic whorls If, at first finely wrinkle-
striate and densely granulated. Surface of body-whorl finely malle-
ated in obscure diamond-pattern, and covered with a minute sparse
and irregular granulation.

Aperture narrow-ovate, subvertical, bluish-white within ; per-
istome white, hardly expanded, but considerably (3 mill.) thickened
on the face and within ; outer lip evenly arched ; columella arched
below, oblique above, reflexed and appressed over the umbilical

This species evidently belongs to the group of »S. ovatus, but differs
from that species in the deeper sutures and more shortly ovate form ;
and although the lip is considerably thickened, indicating a fully
mature shell, it is scarcely in the least expanded.

S. BRONNI Pfeiffer. PI. 16, fig. 27 ; pi. 15, figs. 18, 19.

Shell ovate-elliptic, rather thin but strong, very dark rich brown
with darker streaks and a yellowish subsutural band, the apex whit-
ish, or reddish-brown. Nepionic whorls 3£, the first 14 smooth, the
following whorl with very strong radial folds narrower than their
intervals, and extending from suture to suture, the next whorl with
the folds coarser, more spaced and rather short. Post-nepionic
whorls H-H, very densely aud finely spirally granulate, the gran-
ulation becoming obsolete on last whorl and quite absent from its
latter two-thirds ; body- whorl having indistinct low spiral cords, and
some malleation.

Aperture much over half the shell's length, narrowly pear-shaped,
fleshy within ; peristome narrowly reflexed, recurved, pink ; outer
lip rather straightened ; basal lip deeply arched ; columella straight,
pink, reflexed in a thin, subtransparent, faintly bluish-pink parietal

This species is constantly smaller than S. ovatus, the lip narrower,
and the folds of earlier whorls stronger. There is considerable
variation in the degree to which the minute granulation extends
upon the body-whorl, von Martens mentioning a specimen in which
the granulation extends to the aperture. The folds of early whorls
are stouter than in S. granulosus, the mouth longer, and the col-
umella does not extend upward in a convex fold as in that species.

The spire is always conical, erect and elongated, the apex acute
for a Borus. The distribution of this species north of Tobago I
regard as probably effected by man.

A considerable series of Tobago specimens is before me, collected
by Dr. Benjamin Sharp and Thomas Bland, all albinos with well-
developed columellar fold. All records of oblongus from that island
refer to the white variety ; and I, therefore, believe it to represent
a constant insular subspecies. No specimens from other localities
among the 50 or more which I have examined, are albinos. Yon
Martens states that he knew of no white-mouthed examples ; so
that it is moderately well established that such do not occur in con-
tinental South America, or if they do, are exceedingly rare.

It seems to differ from the variety following in the distinctly den-
ticulate suture and large umbilicus; S. capillaceus var. intertc.rttt*
having the suture non-denticulate and the umbilicus a mere chink.
In the typical S. capillaceus there is usually a narrow chink only,
but sometimes a distinct umbilical cavity. It is rather doubtful
whether seneri and intertextus are true geographic races or only ex-
treme specimens of an everywhere variable species.

lowing uniform brown-yellow, the fold-stria? gradually becoming
more irregular, on the penultimate and last whorls broken into
hammer-stroke like impressions in places; cuticle mostly well pre-
served ; all whorls more swollen than in B. oblongus, especially the
last, while the general form is more conical. The ante-penultimate
whorl is more strongly convex, the penult, more flattened, and this
gives the shell a peculiar aspect. Aperture broad-oval ; peristome
but little reflexed, and only very moderately thickened, pure ivhite ;
columellar margin thin, forming a regular bow from basal to parie-
tal margin, imperceptibly passing into the latter; parietal callus
whitish, rather thin, with definite edge, and not very broad.

STROPHOCHEILUS-BORUS. 33

This species differs much from 8. oblongus in the aperture. The
cited figures (copied on pi. 11, figs. 55, 56) represent it broader and
shorter above than any of the specimens before me. Young examples
have a narrow umbilicus, and a small chink filled with earth
remains to be seen in many adults. (Martens).

zigzagged with whitish. Whorls 4J, the first planorboid, oblique to
axis, .with deep suture, smooth ; the next whorl most minutely gran-
ular, with regularly crenulated suture ; following whorls having ir-
regular wrinkle-stria, and a dense, fine, but irregular decussate
granulation, the sutures somewhat irregularly crenulated.

Aperture slightly over half the shell's length, ovate, fleshy-brown-
ish within ; peristome white, broadly reflexed, rather thin ; outer
lip evenly and well arched, columella concave below, oblique and

Inhabits the same region as S. rosaceus, from which the smaller
size and more converging ends of peristome separate it.

This species varies a good deal in size and proportions of length
to breadth ; and the umbilicus, generally quite large, is occasion-
ally wholly closed. The initial whorl is, when unworn, finely stri-
ated spirally as in the following species, from which the larger size,
and more remote lip-ends easily separate rosaceus.

The thickened lip and obsolescence or irregularity of the cren-
ulation of the suture on last whorl, distinguish this species from its
nearest ally, S. crenulatus. The nepionic shell moreover, is not
evenly spirally striate as in crenulatus, but has larger, granulated,
spirals at intervals, with smooth finer ones between them. It in-
habits a dry region, and is doubtless a modification of the rosaceus
and crenulatus type.

hand, some of the specimens apparently quite adult, which I
have seen from Bahia Blanca, have the lip thin ; so that the variety
is of but slight value.

Of this peculiar species but one example from Dohrn's collection
is before me. It reminds one of B. lichtensteini in form, but is com-
paratively shorter and rounder, the cuticle more shining, the deposit
on the parietal wall wider, especially below, where it is prolonged
over the umbilical tract. The first whorl is entirely flat, of the same
height as the second, on which bare traces of vertical stria? begin to
show ; but on the third whorl these are somewhat more distinct,
though remaining flat, never attaining the height and sharpness of
those of B. lichtensteini. Finally, on the penultimate and last
whorls they become closely crowded, flat, somewhat irregular wrinkle-
stria?, which at the suture are somewhat more elevated. The suture
is not deeply impressed, and falls only very moderately toward the
aperture. (Martens').

The columellar fold is not so strong as in S. marmoratus ; the spire
is shorter than in S. pardalis ; and it differs from both of these, as
well as from the other allied species, in the minute sculpture, which
is seen only with a strong lens. In the series of 10 specimens before

suture is noticeably oblique to those above.

Allied to S. moritzianus, but zebra-striped throughout like an Acha-

columellar fold is decidedly stronger than in moritzianus, but less
strong than S. marmoratus. The aperture is as a general rule less
than half the shell's length ; but in one specimen of the ten before
me it slightly exceeds the half. The last suture, viewed from the

This species differs from S. venezuelensis only in the more or less
distinctly criss-cross pattern of the microscopic sculpture on the last

zigzag, sometimes merely streaked ; and the size of the shell varies
considerably.

This species has been considered a synonym of marmoratus by
various authors, but having a good series of both species before me
I have satisfied myself that they are distinct. The microscopic
granulation of the surface is wholly irregular in this species, while
in marmoratus it shows more or less obvious arrangement into a
zigzag pattern. In the form, coarser sculpture, strong columellar
fold, etc., the two species are practically identical.

The body-whorl is often almost free from Achatina-like striping,
and though usually of a rich reddish chestnut color, this is occasion-
ally replaced by a peculiarly pleasing olive-green.

The striae are coarse, somewhat oblique and wrinkle-like, and
more or less distinctly, finely granulated, especially on the last
whorl. It is uniform yellowish-brown. The apex is lost in the unique
type, so that the number of whorls is not known exactly, but there
must be at least 4, and apparently a half or whole whorl more. The
upper one preserved is smooth, and evidently this is not entirely on
account of erosion ; there is none of the special sculpture visible on
it, such as is so characteristic of most Boms species. There are 2
or 3 granules in the distance across each wrinkle (see fig. 43).

44 STROPHOCHEILUS-TIIAUMASTUS.

This group differs from the preceding subgenera in its simple, un-
expanded lip. A few forms of Dryptus, such as S. pardalis, connect
to some extent, the two groups. Thaumastus is most abundantly
developed on the eastern slope of the Andes in Peru, while Dryptus is
mainly a group of Venezuela and Columbia, Strophocheilus of Brazil,
and Borus covers practically the entire range of all the other
groups.

It is a mere accident that the name Thaumastus is applied to this
group, the fact being that of the entire list given in Die Heliceen,
only one species — the one designated as type — belongs to the present
genus, the others being Bulimulidce. Thaumastus as here used is
therefore by no means equivalent to Thaumastus of former authors.
It is more nearly equal to Orphnus (a preoccupied name), but in-
cludes, as will be seen, some species referred hitherto to Scutalm,
etc.

The species fall into four groups distinguished by the following
characters :

a. Shell distinctly perforate or umbilicated.

b. Large (alt. about 80 mill), solid, with dark lip and col-
umella, the body-whorl with some spiral series of grains,

Group of S. melanocheilus.
bb. Usually smaller, without this special sculpture,

Group of S. inca.
act. Shell imperforate.

b. Nepionic whorls longitudinally rib-striate,

Group of S. taunaisii.

bb. Nepionic whorls thimble-pitted, Group of S. thompsoni.
As the apical sculpture of a considerable number of species is un-
known, some transpositions and other changes in this grouping will
probably be necessary. Moreover, many cabinet specimens are too
worn to show the true sculpture.

Group of S. melanocheilus.

Perforate, with dark peristome and columella, the surface with
some spaced spiral series of granules; nepionic shell closely waved-
striate.

S. MELANOCHEILUS Nyst. PI. 23, figs. 62, 63.

Shell perforate, lengthened-ovate, solid; chestnut brown, with a
darker girdle below the white-edged suture, bounded below by a

yellowish band, the periphery encircled by a dark girdle between
two yellowish bands. Surface somewhat shining, irregularly
wrinkled by growth-striae, and having some spaced spiral series of
granules on the upper of the body-whorl, more or less distinct on
earlier whorls ; the nepionic shell minutely and closely vermiculate-
striate. Spire lengthened, regular, having a moderately impressed
suture margined below by a puckered or crenulate border; whorls
a trifle over 6, the first forming a planorboid obtuse apex, the
rest gently convex ; latter half of last whorl obliquely descending.

Aperture ovate, whitish-brown and lustrous within ; peristome
slightfi/ expanded, ivith a ivide thickened black-brown rim within;
columellar margin dark brown, reflexed, widened above vaulted over
the large, open perforation, with an oblique, feebly convex, long
entering fold. Parietal wall covered with a rather thick dark
callus. Alt. 80, diam. 38-40 mill. ; alt. of mouth 40 mill.

yellow band following the sutures, continuing on the body-whorl.
[There are two bands : one subsutural, the other at periphery ; the
latter being covered on whorls of spire].

Typical examples are darker and more glossy than S. taunaisii,
smoother, often with no sutural margination, whatever; the lip
thinner, and interior of the aperture very dark. There are, how-
ever, some more or less intermediate forms. It is likely that the
undescribed Bulimus monozonalis Desh. is a small specimen or
variety of this species.

A stouter form occurs, lighter in color and with proportionately
larger aperture. Alt. 62*, diam. 32 ; alt. of aperture 30 mill. This
is near taunaisii in color, but still the suture is not margined and the
sculpture of nepionic shell and body-whorl is as described above for
mar/nificus.

Larger than S. melanocheilus, with larger, more spreading aper-
ture, stronger striation, thicker epidermis and lacking the brown
band between two light ones of that species. It is probably most
nearly allied to /S'. taunaisii, but seems proportionally wider. M.
Jousseaume displays his accustomed ingenuity in the generic and
specific combination he has chosen.

S. TAUNAISII Ferussac. PI. 25, figs. 78, 79.

Shell imperforate, lengthened-ovate, solid. Yellowish-chestnut,
with few or many Irregularly placed dark chestnut oblique streaks;
the spire dull reddish-brown; sutures more or less distinctly light-
margined throughout. Surface with irregular wrinkles of growth
and numerous unequally but wide spaced spiral incised lines, cutting
the growth-wrinkles, and often becoming more or less obsolete on the
body-whorl, absent below ; spire indistinctly decussated ; nepionic
whorls sculptured with fine, close and regular slightly waved rib-
strife, but usually in large part eroded or worn in adults. Spire
conic, the apex obtuse, generally truncated and plugged. Whorls
almost 7, nearly flat, the suture linear, but around last whorl it be-
comes more impressed, and has a distinct crenulated margin defined
by a groove.

Aperture less than half the shell's length, small, narrowly ovate,
ivhite inside; peristome white, thickened within, blunt, not expanded ;
columella white, with a twisted, convex entering fold, broadly reflexed
in a cloxely appressed callus over the umbilical region ; parietal callus
white or transparent.

This species is very closely allied to S. magnificus but it is lighter
colored, more roughly sculptured, the sutural margination is con-
stant, and the peripheral light girdle, distinct in the young, is gener-
ally not visible in adult shells. Still, I doubt whether they can
ultimately be held distinct species.

but it is far smaller, conspicuously thinner-shelled, the last whorl
narrower, the contour more cylindrical, less conical, the white fold
of the columella less projecting, and the sutures of the last whorl
are not margined — differences justifying the separation from B.
taunaisii

showing a more or less distinct light girdle at the periphery.. Surface
inconspicuously wrinkle-striate, decussated by incised spiral lines,
rather- obsolete on last whorl ; the nepionic shell densely and finely
rib-striate, the strise rather wavy. Spire produced, conic, the apex
very obtuse, entire. AVhorls 6*, first planorboid, several following
hardly convex, the latter two whorls gently convex with more im-

I am disposed to consider this merely a stouter form of S. larailll-
erti Phil. ; but having no typical examples of that species before
me, it may be best, until the identity is proven, to let achilles stand
as a species. The locality given, " Banks of the Amazon," rests
upon the insecure basis of a Cumingian label.

has probably no varietal status. It is from Piracicaba, Prov. S.
Paulo. It will be noted that S. largillierti, which is very nearly
allied, if not identical, is from the adjacent province, Sta. Catarina.

S. achilles is at all times a smoother shell than S. porphyrius, has
a different pattern of sculpture on the apical whorls, and is not um-
bilicate, although occasional specimens show a very slight chink.

According to Hidalgo the specimens figured by Philippi and Reeve
(which agree with those before me) are not fully mature ; the adult
having no notch or truncation at foot of columella. I have copied

The typical shell has a peculiarly malleated surface, and the in-
dentations are rendered conspicuous by the brown markings. The
variety, wanting these characters, presents so different an appearance
that it might be taken for a distinct species. There is however, but
little difference in form, the coloring of the mouth is the same, the
brown rays are also similar in color and disposition. The longitu-
dinal strue are closer and more regular, taking the place of the
irregular indentations characteristic of the typical form (Sowb.').

grooved by wrinkle-strire, which naturally become coarser with the
shell's growth. The species is apparently nearest S. thompsoni, but
it is less lengthened, and not so variegated above.

56 STROPHOCHEILUS-THAUMASTUS.

This form, which seems nearly allied to S. tceniolus, S. brephoides,
and especially S. inca, has not been satisfactorily identified, and I
have, therefore, repeated the Spix-AVaguer description and figure.

Pfeiffer has figured a form (pi. 28, figs. 2, and 3) under this name
which he describes as follows :

" Shell imperforate, oblong, solid, striatulate, brownish, irregu-
larly streaked with rufous, and with one whitish band. Spire
lengthened, convex-turrited, the apex obtuse ; suture impressed,
subirregular. AVhorls 7, but slightly convex, the last one about f
the length, slightly narrowed at base. Columella white, obliquely
receding, subplicate, calloused at base. Aperture oblique, acumin-
ate, semi-oval, somewhat pearly inside ; peristome straight, some-
what thickened, the right margin lightly arcuate, basal regularly
arcuate. Alt. 58, diam. 20a-, aperture, alt. 24, width 1H mill.
Brazil."

AVhether this is identical with the shell collected by Spix is some-
what doubtful. It should be compared with S. inca Orb. The
original description of Bulinus sordidus here follows:

" T. pyramidali, transversim striata, fusca ; anfr. basali ad sutu-
ram subalbido; linea subcentrica pallida ; labii vix reflexi margine
albo. Long. Hf, lat. I poll. Habitat ad Brasiliam (Rio de Jan-
eiro)."

No other information has been published.

Shell lengthened, very obviously perforated, thick ; uniform
blackish-brown, paler toward the apex ; nearly smooth, with some
growth-lines ; spire much elongated, a little swollen, conic above
and rather obtuse ; whorls 8-9, quite convex, separated by a deep,
nearly smooth or irregular suture. Aperture oval, peristome white,
much thickened within ; columella thick, straight.

Reeve's B. spixii, cited here by Pfeiffer, is a very doubtful
synonym. If the original of his figure is normal, it indicates a new
species. From present information, it appears that Nyst was the
first to change the preoccupied name originally proposed by
Philippi. The strong, spaced folds of the earlier whorls are char-
acteristic.

densely striatulate and sometimes with inconspicuous, spaced, most
finely granulose spiral lines." The form figured by Morelet (figs. 66,
67) as a variety of B. alutaceus Rve. has been referred to tarmensis
by Hidalgo, I believe correctly. It is smaller than alutaceus, alt.

more or less intense, sometimes with one or several bands, spiral
strise absent.

62 PLEKOCHEILUS.

Family BULIMULID^E.

=Bulimulid(B+ Orthalicidce of authors.

Shell varying from well developed, oblong, ovate, conic or cylin-
drical, and capable of containing the retracted soft parts, to Succinea-
like, or depressed, few whorled, and incapable of containing the soft

parts.

External characters of animal as in Helicidce. Genitalia rather
simple, the penis with or without a flagellum or an accessory gland
or " appendix." Jaw composed of vertical or oblique imbricating
plates, sometimes forming a triangular median piece composed of
one or several plates, or sometimes by thickening of the plates hav-
ing an odontognathous appearance. Radula fundamentally as in
Helicidce, but variously modified.

Habits arboreal or terrestrial. Genera about fifteen, inhabiting
tropical and subtropical America, and in the Old World extending
from Tasmania and Australia to China, and eastward in Polynesia
to the Society Islands.

An extensive family, comprising the dominant groups of South
American land snails, and abundantly represented in the Orient by
Place-stylus, Partula, Amphidromus, etc. As only a portion of the
genera will be discussed in this volume, the consideration of the
geographic and geological distribution and the anatomy, as well. as
synoptical keys to the genera and subgenera, will be reserved for the
Introduction to a later volume.

The several genera will now be monographed, beginning with
those South American groups having greatest similarity in shell
characters to the Bulimoid Helicidce. This proximity must be
clearly understood to be a grouping of convenience only, indicative
of no natural affinity.

PER, Reisen im Archip. Phil., Land moll., p. 150 (soft anatomy of
loveni and blainvilleanus).

Shell " Bulimoid," ovate or ovate-acuminate, usually solid and
opaque ; zig-zag streaked or dappled with brown on a lighter ground,
or variegated with whitish over brown or yellow, rarely unicolored;
the surface wrinkled, striated or granulose. Nepionic shell small.
Aperture ovate, the lip reflexed, expanded, or blunt ; columella
reflexed or narrow, with a spiral fold or none.

Left mantle-edge with two anterior lobes ; kidney very short,
triangular. Genitalia simple, the spermatheca duct long, penis
bearing a long flagellum. Jaw vertically striated by the edges of
numerous narrow, imbricating, slightly oblique united plates. Rad-
ula with the rhachidian tooth bearing a long middle cusp only, or
middle cusp shorter, and side cusps developed ; lateral and marginal
teeth with two cusps.

Distribution, northwestern South America (British Guyana, Ven-
ezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, with adjacent portion of Bol-
ivia) ; Islands of St. Vincent and St. Lucia.

This group has hitherto been incorporated in the restricted genus
Bulimus of authors, with Borus, Strophocheilus, Orphnussmd Dryp-
tus ; but these groups I have shown to possess the common character
of a relatively very large nepionic shell. In other words, the embryo
undergoes a greater amount of development within the egg, the lat-
ter containing a considerable quantity of nutriment. In conse-
quence of this, the individual eggs are of large size and few in num-
ber. On the other hand, Plekocheilus and the genera which will
follow, reproduce by smaller eggs, the young at the time of hatch-
ing being relatively minute. The nature of the jaw also separates this
genus from Borus and its allies ; the latter having a solid, ribbed or
smooth jaw like the Helices, while Plekocheilus has a jaw of the
finely laminated type common in Bulimulidce.

The Martensian classification is, therefore, clearly erroneous.. In
transferring the genus from Helicidw to Bulimulidu', attention may
be directed to the structure of the jaw, which is like many species of
Otostomus ; the teeth and genitalia which resemble those of some
Biilimulus; while the shell is either more solid than in those genera,
or its reflexed lip offers a differential character.

64 PLEKOCHEILUS.

Subgeneric divisions.

Two rather closely allied sections compose this genus :

1. PLEKOCHEILUS s. str., in which the shell is wrinkled or mal-
leated, spire costulate. (Page 64).

2. EURYTUS, shell granulate or striate, rarely almost smooth.
(Page 69).

The second of these groups has an extended range southward in
the elevated regions of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, where
the typical group does not extend.

Shell ovate or ovate-acuminate, solid, roughly sculptured with dense

spire longitudinally costulate; nep ionic shell small, most minutely
granose; aperture ovate, the lip well reflexed ; columella dilated
above, with a weakly convex oblique entering fold, which sometimes
bears a strong or slight white callus fold. Type S. aurissileni.

Plekocheilus has been misunderstood by Martens, Pfeiffer and other
systematists, who restrict it to the group of B. distortus Brug.

The group of B. speciosus, which I have left in the next section,.
Eurytnx, may perhaps as naturally be placed here ; but there is a
difference in the structure of the columellar fold. In Plekocheilus
this fold when strong is formed by a callus superimposed upon the
rather weak columellar convexity, and added only when the in-
dividual is quite mature.

A very distinct species. In young shells (see pi. 22, fig. 58), the
outer lip becomes reflexed and the other features of maturity are
assumed before the strong fold of the columella is added, just as in
fulminans and blainvilleanus. The pattern of sculpture and features
of the nepionic shell are also the same as in the fulminans group, of
which this species is undoubtedly a member.

P. FULMINANS NjSt. PI. 31, fig. 33.

Shell acutely long-ovate, moderately solid, imperforate; brown
or yellowish-brown, with narrow zigzag dark stripes. Surface closely
and strongly ribbed on spire, the body-ivhorlwith close vertical wrinkles
interrupted by obliquely descending ridges produced by a more or
less confluent malleation. Whorls 4f, those of spire nearly flat, the
last feebly convex above, its suture rapidly and obliquely descend-
ing.

In fulminans the convex lobe of the columella in fully adult
shells is longer than in P. blainvilleanus. The aperture is smaller ;
outer lip less arcuate above, spire slenderer and more produced.

Von Martens many years ago, included blainvilleanus and loveni
in fulminans as varieties ; and recently Sowerby has expressed the
same opinion. It is extremely likely that these forms are only geo-
graphic varieties, but in the absence of specimens actually connecting
them, it may be as well to allow them to stand as species for the pre-

PLEKOCHEILUS. 67

sent. The convex fold of the coluruella is not added until complete
maturity is attained, so that some apparently adult shells are with-
out it ; and in this condition the species are still more alike.

This snail belongs to the group Dryptus Alb., and is nearest allied
to B. blainvilleanus Pfr., though its general aspect reminds one of
small varieties of B. moritzianus. It seems to vary in form judging
by the two well preserved specimens before me, the shorter one by
5 mill, is 2 mill, wider than the longer shell. (Dkr.).

Eurytm ALB., Die Hel., 1850, p. 169; Edit., 1860, p. 195, type
_B. pintadinus Orb.

Shell ovate or elongated, varying from rather thin to solid and
•either granulated, transversely striate or longitudinally rib striate.
Aperture exceeding half the alt. of shell ; peristome varying from
reflexed to simple and unexpanded ; columella with or without a
fold. Type Bulimus pintadinus Orb.

The objection may reasonably be lodged against the above diagno-
sis that it is sufficiently loose to admit almost any Bulimus; but so
diverse are the elements of Ettrytus that no more exact definition
will cover all of them. At the same time, I am unwilling to split the
group into several new sections. It is always doubtful whether the
greater defmiteness of idea obtained by disintegrating such a group
as this into named sections, will recompense for the additional brain
burden of carrying the machinery of nomenclature.

Of this division I have seen only P. speciosus. It may well be
questioned whether the group does not belong to Plekocheilus.

The furrow at root of columella is characteristic ; the sculpture
not less so. Size and comparative width vary somewhat, and the
coloring is changeable within wide limits. It has been reported
from Trinidad and Demerara, but apparently incorrectly. A

rapidly increasing, the last whorl large, obliquely descending in
front. Suture crenulated.

Aperture oval, acuminate above, whitish-ochraceous inside, a little
less than two-thirds the length of shell ; columella oblique, arcuate,

B. piperitus of Sowerby is the nearest ally of this species. From
that form the present one differs in being smaller and consisting of
a whorl less. The granulous sculpture is also different, and does
not display that transverse direction which is noticeable in B. piper-
itus. The brown spotting is far less abundant ; the general tint is
yellower; and the peristome is rose-colored and everywhere ex-
panded and reflexed, which is not the case with Sowerby's species,
in which it is usually white and scarcely shows any expansion or
reflexion ; however, I have seen some specimens of the Peruvian B.
piperitus with a pink lip. (Smith).

This species and the next seem to belong in the immediate vicinity

and cloudy patches of a darker color. Spire very short, apex
obtuse, pink. Whorls 4, rather convex, the last large.

Aperture ovate, more than two-thirds the length of the shell, effuse
below ; outer lip slightly expanded and reflexed, which together with
the columella and the interior of the aperture, is of a bright rose
color. Alt. 36, diam. 17 mill. (Angas).

coalescence of spots) of dark brown, light-edged on the left side in
the typical form. Surface dull, wrinkle-striate and very densely
granulate, the granules following the wrinkles to some extent.
Spire conic ; whorls 4f , the first planorboid, the next minutely criss-
cross granulate; last whorl large, its latter third descending.

The typical form of this species is rather thin and beautifully
variegated with dark spots (often coalescent into irregular streaks)
bordered on the left with light; and in the aperture this pattern is
conspicuous. It is connected, however, by intermediate specimens
with the following :

Var. LAMARCKIANUS Pfr. PI. 32, fig. 38.

Of this species of the characteristically Columbian and Peruvian
group Eurytus, two specimens were brought by Mr. H. Tetens of
Altona. They were found in great numbers in an Indian village

Description and figures from Lea's type, no. 105045 of the Smith-
sonian Institution collection. There is some superficial resemblance
to P. pulicarius, but that species has more whorls, a deeper suture
and rounder mouth, is variegated with dark brown, and it lacks the
conspicuous and characteristic malleation of glandiformis. The
superficial dents in this species are arranged in obliquely descending
series in some places, elsewhere are irregular; the mesh of wrinkles
around the indentations is mainly light yellow, where the thin,
glossy cuticle is retained ; but on the body-whorl there are some
oblique stripes of a darker chestnut, without buff net-work. P. sub-
glandiformis Mouss. is a longer shell than this, but is apparently
its nearest ally.

liquely descending. Coluraella oblique, narrow, twisting inward,
its spiral ascent to the apex being visible from below ; aperture am-
ple, ovate-acuminate, shining and pale blue tinted within, about five-
sevenths the shell's length. Peristome simple, narrowly expanded,
hardly reflexed, fleshy-brown ; the margins joined by a very thin

Distinguished readily from B. gibbonius, coloratits, ampullaroides,
etc., by the narrow columella, the spiral trend of which to the apex
may be seen from the base.

P. TRICOLOR Pfeiffer. PI. 35, figs. 74, 75.

Shell subperforate, ovate, thin, striate and minutely granulate;
olive-brown, with oblique, interrupted lighting stripes of deep chest-
nut. Spire ventricose-conic, the apex red and rather acute; suture
denticulate-marginate. Whorls 4, the upper 2 rather flat, the last
ventricose, very obliquely descending at the latter part, attenuated
at base. Columella simple, arcuate; aperture small, slightly longer

The following is evidently a variety of this, as Hidalgo himself
suspected.

Var. SEMIPICTUS Hidalgo. Pi. 5, figs. 24, 25 ; pi. 8, fig. 41.

Shell subimperforate, ovate, thin, subpellucid, but little shining,
rather smooth. Whitish, the earlier whorls with narrow oblique
" lightning " stripes, the last with sparse dots of the same color, van-
ishing toward the aperture; covered with an olivaceous cuticle.
Spire conic, apex rather obtuse, purple-brown ; suture simple, some-
times slightly creuulated. Whorls 4, subplanate, rapidly increasing,
the earlier 2 seen to be minutely wrinkled under a lens, the last

somewhat inflated on the back, flattened toward the aperture, deeply
descending in front, subdilated beneath.

Columella narrow, oblique, twisted inward, visible inside from the
base as far as the apex. Aperture ovate-acute, subdilated below,
three-fifths the length of the shell, within concolored ; peristome
simple, sometimes somewhat thickened, narrowly expanso-reflexed
throughout, purple-brown; the terminations joined by a very thin
callus ; right margin well arched, columella slightly dilated above,
adnate. Alt. 38, diam. 23 mill.

1870, pi. 6, f. 7 ; Moll. Viaje al Pacif, p. 95, pi. 6, f. 8, 9.

In the majority of its characters, according to Hidalgo, this form
is like B. tricolor Pfr., but it differs in the more obtuse spire, larger
aperture, diverse direction of the columella, fewer color-lines and
lack of granulation on the last whorl, though with a high power lens
granulation is visible on the second whorl.

P. ARIST.EUS Crosse. PI. 4, fig. 4.

Shell nearly covered rimate, irregularly ventricose-oval, longitu-
dinally wrinkle-striate ; olive-chestnut, with sparse zig-zag streaks
and spots of blackish-brown, nearly disappearing on the last whorl.
Spire rather short, the apex obtuse ; suture well marked. Whorls
4|, somewhat convex, the nepiouic H smooth and polished, violet-
purple; penultimate whorl strongly convex ; last whorl deeply ob-
liquely descending, carried forward, large, inflated, much longer
than the spire.

Columella perceptibly receding, white within ; aperture oval, sub-
piriform, moderately large, soiled white within ; peristome pale
chestnut whitish, somewhat thickened, narrowly reflexed, the mar-
gins somewhat converging, joined by a very thin callus; columellar
margin flat, slightly dilated. Alt. 48, diam. 27 mill.; aperture

pressed above, sack-like below, suddenly dejiexed and flattened behind
posterior angle of aperture. Aperture ovate, bluish and with some
spots within ; peristome white, a trifle thickened, not noticeably

the last large, deeply descending, f the length of shell, rugose-gran-
ulate and irregularly striated. Aperture ample, oblong-oval ; lip

This Bulimus, of a soiled grayish-white, spotted and dotted with
small brown spots, resembles B.piperatus Sow., but is larger, much
thicker, and the last whorl is proportionally more lengthened and
swollen. Moreover the structure is very different, for there are only
longitudinal stria?, not cut transversely by finer ones ; the granula-
tion is coarser. The columellar margin is noticeably reflexed,
applied to the whorl, and united to the right margin by a more or
less thick layer of white enamel. The interior is bluish nacreous.

P. TAYLORIANUS Reeve. PI. 36, figs. 78, 79.

Shell imperforate, ovate-conic, rather thin, irregularly striated and

scattered dots of darker, and on the spire some zig-zag blackish lines.
Spire slender, conic, apex rather acute ; whorls 4 j-5, those of spire
nearly flat ; suture impressed, becoming deep and slightly crenulated
around last whorl, which is wrinkled below it. Last whorl large,
swollen, very abruptly and deeply descending in front.

Aperture ovate, fleshy-brown and glossy within ; peristome simple,
obtuse, flesh-colored ; columella very narrow, gently arcuate, flesh-
colored, slightly dilated and appressed above ; parietal callus thin,
fleshy, not projecting or spreading outward beyond the level of the

The sparsely scattered dark markings are not conspicuous on
account of the darkness of the ground-color ; and there is sometimes,
perhaps always, a peppering of minute golden points on the body-
whorl. The spire is quite slender for so inflated a body-whorl, and
the abrupt descent of the last whorl in front is very characteristic.

I can see no reason for the existence of Miller's taylorioides,
founded on Pfeiffer's figures.

P. SUPERSTRIATUS Sowerby. PI. 36, fig. 80.

Shell im perforate, ovate-conic, rather solid, shining, longitudinally
rugate, spirally striate ; chestnut, obscurely flammulate and maculate
with blackish-brown. Spire conic, apex rather acute; whorls 5,
slightly convex, crenulated at the suture, the last exceeding the spire,
sculptured with numerous incised spiral striae, disappearing toward
the base. Aperture oval, bluish-purple inside ; peristorae scarcely

the species of this group.

Var. PRODEFLEXUS Pilsbry. PI. 36, fig. 81.

Shell imperforate, ovate-conic, solid. Yellowish-chestnut, sprink-
led with golden dots and maculre, showing a few longitudinal dark
streaks and scattered spots ; the earlier whorls purplish-brown. Sur-
face with growth Avrinkles, irregularly cut into narrow vertical
granules by more distant spiral incised lines, subobsolete below.
Spire stout, conical ; apex obtuse. Whorls 4?, gently convex, the
last transversely dilated, compressed around the upper part, deeply
deflexed in front, slightly gibbous around columella.

Aperture over half the shell's length, somewhat oblique, purplish
inside, ovate-angular; peristome blunt, not expanded, its edge
yellowish, broadly bordered inside with blue-white; columellar mar-
gin abruptly arcuate below, straightened above, oblique, passing into
parietal wall without an angle ; parietal callus narrow, extending low
on columella. Alt. 52, diam. 30 mill. ; alt. of aperture 28 mill.

suture distinctly striate or costulate; first whorl granulate, the fol-
lowing striate or decussated, the last whorl nearly smooth, three-
h'fths the alt. of shell, inflated in front, suddenly and arcuately
deeply descending.

Columella twisted, passing arcuately into peristome. Aperture
oblique, oval, the peristome simple, above a little reflexed, the col-
umellar margin narrowly reflexed and adnate, brown-flesh color;
terminations joined by a thin, shining, white-edged callus. Alt. 53,

This species is evidently allied to the two preceding, but differs in
the smooth body-whorl. Miller says: The vertical distribution of
this species seems to be restricted. It lives on leaves and is rather
plentiful. The columella is so strongly curved that it coils around
a central hole, through which one can see to the apex.

Group of P. floccosm.

Lengthened, imperforate, the peristome narrow.

P. FLOCCOSUS Spix. PI. 37, figs. 86, 87, 88.

Shell imperforate, much elongated, rather thin, but solid, hardly
shining. Dull purplish-brown, with scattered spots (and usually
some streaks) of dark purple-chestnut, each edged on the left by a
transverse, shadow-like buff patch; the spire clear light brown. Sur-
face closely and coarsely plicate-striate, and minutely, very densely, ir-
regularly granulate, the granulation disappearing on spire ; nepionic
whorls with a thimble-like punctulation. Spire conic, apex ob-
liquely obtuse, the tip white. Whorls 5, feebly convex, the last de-
scending and flattened in front.

Aperture long-ovate, within purple-fleshy or purple-brown, macu-

Described from one dead specimen, deposited in the collection of
the Museum of Natural History of Paris. The colors are somewhat
faded, but it seems to be of a bi'own-violet tint, darker on the last
whorl, which is ornamented with a few small transverse spots of
dark brown violet, each with a transverse white spot on its left side,
so that the dark spots seem like the shadows of the light ones. It is
shorter and more ventricose than B. floccosns, and, judging from
Orbigny's figures, there seems to be an umbilical chink behind the
columellar lip.

Shell ovate, oblong, or fusiform, Bulirnoid or Auricula-shaped,
solid, of opaque, earthy texture and usually light color; rimate,
perforate or umbilicate; always sculptured. Aperture about half
the length of the shell, varying from ovate to ear-shaped and con-
torted, often notched' or angular at base ; outer lip reflexed, evenly
arcuate or sinuous, often with a flange along its inner edge ; colum-
ella with a strong or weak entering fold. Nepionic shell very small.

Mantle-edge with a long left body-lobe, or a small right and
divided left lobe. Kidney short. Genital system without accessory
organs, the spermatheca duct long, flagellum wanting (? or rarely
present). Jaw plaited, the plaits few or many, and either almost
completely soldered together and appearing merely striate, or less
united and as in Plekocheilus. Dentition as in Plekocheilus, and
showing the same variation.

Type A. melastomus (Swains.) Spix.

Ground snails, as far as known, ranging from Venezuela and
Trinidad to southeastern Brazil, nearly all characterized by con-
spicuously earthy texture and peculiar modification of the aperture.

The genus is most nearly allied to Plekocheilus, the two groups
being separated upon shell characters alone, the anatomy, so far as
present information goes, affording no diagnostic differences. The
conchological divergence, however, is so great between the two
groups, that a union of them would seem a radical and uncalled-for
measure; while their separation as distinct genera is obviously an
aid to clear conceptions of the mutual relationships of the species
involved.

Al'RIS. '.'7

Most of the forms herein referred to the genus Yuri's have formed
part of the heterogeneous "genus" Bulimus of authors. 1 have
already shown the nucleus of that genus (j$trophocheihi8+ £orua -
Dryptus -f Thaumostus Pils. nee auctt.) to belong to the family
HELICID^E; while the genera Plekocheilus and Auris are now for
the first time sundered from " Bulinnis," and transferred to their
true family position in the BULIMULID^:. Regarding the content" of
the genus Auris, we must not overlook the fact that although the
component snbgenera have never hitherto been united in one com-
prehensive group, yet even by Beck and Albers they are not far
separated in the series ; while von Martens, whose genius for per-
ceiving natural groups in Pulmonata we are so often compelled to
admire, arranges the subgenera of Auris in uninterrupted order.

The name Auris rests upon a basis precisely similar to that of
of Strophocheilns (p. 4). It was proposed by Spix for two species,
A. melastoma and A. signata, which are placed by Wagner under
"Bulimus" melanostomus and "Auricula" signata. Spix's nomen-
clature appears also on the plate illustrating these species. No more
readily understood indication of the nature of Auris could be given ;
for good illustrations are held to define as well as the more formal
but frequently quite insufficient diagnosis. The later and better-
known name Pachyotus becomes a synonym of Auris; a fate we
deplore the less because the course taken by Gray in naming H. miris-
vulpina as type of Pachyotus, complicates the question of its use for
the South American group. Moreover, Gonyostomus and Otvxtomus
both precede Pachyotus in Beck's work, and the former of these
names would necessarily take precedence for the present genus were
it not for the prior and valid claim of Auris.

I have not seen specimens of A. spectrum or dillwyniana. The
former of them seems to be merely a variety of A. miclas. Of the
other species I have seen a good many specimens of all but A.perdix
Pfr. and A. hauxwelli Crosse, of these but few have been examined-

The species are illustrated on plates 38-44.

Subgenus AURIS Spix (s. str.).

(=Auris plus Pachyotus, Bulimus of authors).

Shell umbilicate or rimate, ovate, rather stout, the whorls of the
spire distinctly plicate or folded below the sutures, last whorl with or
without oblique folds. Aperture ovate, the lip broadly reflexed,
often bearing a callous flange. Columella with an oblique fold.
Whorls 4 2 to 5-L Type A. melastoma Swains.

Distribution, Province of Bahia, Brazil.

The typical group of Auris consists of rather large ovate species
with a series of folds below the' sutures, a structure not existing in
the other subgenera. Aside from this, there is much in common
with Eudolichotis and Otostomus, especially the flange within the outer
lip, the tendency to form a basal notch or sinus, and the general
coloration.

Nearly every species of this subgenus occurs under two forms,
usually identical in shape, but remarkably distinct in coloring of
the mouth parts, and so far as my material shows, there are no in-
termediate examples. It is not improbable that this is purely a case
of dimorphism, and the forms have no truly varietal status; but as
the question has not before been adequately discussed, and observa-
tions bearing upon it by naturalists who have seen the species in
their native forests are lacking, I have considered the interests of
science best served by formal recognition of the several divergent
forms, leaving open the question of their status, as one which I have
no means of deciding. Compare, in this connection, Dohrn's re-
marks in Jahrbiicher d. D. Malak.Gesellsch., x, pp. 348, 349 (1883).

A study of well-preserved specimens of " Eu/liim*" aurisvulpina
of St. Helena, convinces me that Fischer was entirely right in
removing that species from the Pdvhi/otu* group. Its conchological
features forbid any association of the St. Helena species with South
American Bulimi.

Two forms occur, indistinguishable as to shape, but apparently
different in color at all stages of growth. Whether these are real
subspecies, or merely two phases of a single dimorphic stock, we
have no certain means of determining at present. The differences
are not due to age, the young shells also sharing them.

Similar to ^1. bilabiata, but with the oblique folds of the last

secondary sculpture also is less developed, and it is smaller than
ordinary specimens of bilabiata.

This species exhibits two phases or two varieties exactly parallel
to those of A. bilabiata, and evidently having the same status.
Whether the variations in these species are comparable to the white
and the pink mouthed forms of Strophocheilus ovatiis, oblongvs, etc.,
remains to be seen. I desire merely to direct attention to the ap-
parently constant differences observed.

Differs conspicuously from A. swainsoni, bernardii and illheocola
in the dark lip and aperture. The flange within the outer lip is
generally more conspicuous and prolonged upward further than in
swainsoni, but there is great variation in this character. Moricand
and Reeve have included swainsoni and illheocola as varieties of mel-
anostoma.

This species has generally been known by the name given by
Pfeiffer in 1845, but it was first described by Moricand as a variety
of rhodospira (melastoma) in 1836.

While closely allied to melftstoma, it differs from that species in
lacking black spots between the folds on the spire, and in the greater
prevalence of white in the aperture and on the outer lip. As in all
preceding species of this genus, there are two color-varieties.

Typical chrysostoma Moric., pi. 38, fig. 6, in which the slight rim
or flange within the lip, the columella, and the inner part of the
parietal wall are white, and there is a more or less distinct basal
notch.

Yar. sivuinsoni Pfr., pi. 38, fig. 7, in which the entire parietal wall,
the columella, and the inner margin of lip are black, and the baso-
columellar curve while abrupt, is not excavated into a notch or
sinus.

AURIS. 105

All of the published figures cited in the above references represent
the var. swainsoni; typical chrysostoma being, we believe, illus-
trated here for the first time. In some large specimens of swainsoni,
the basal lip is much produced, like the lobe of the ear ; this being
shown in a specimen before me and in the figure of Fc'russac. The
coloration is more mottled in these than in typical chnjsostoma. and
shows a sparse sprinkling of small, intense brown round spots.
Specimens of both chrysostoma and sivainsoni are before me from
Bahia.

A. BER-N ARDII Pfeifter. PI. 38, figs. 8, 9.

Shell perforate, ovate-conic, solid and opaque, fleshy-white with
bold undulating brown longitudinal stripes, in places broken or dis-
located, and below the periphery interrupted by a pale band ; the
spire pale, without black spots between the folds, the apex white.
Surface sruoothish, but peculiarly sculptured by obliquely-descending
series of long granules (pi. 38, fig. 8) ; the base more densely granu-
late, the granules crowded as in A. illheocola. Whorls of spire
strongly plicate below the sutures, which are slightly crenulated.
Whorls 5 i.

Aperture ovate, vertical, white within, with dark marbling cor-
responding to the external coloration ; lip broadly and rather flatly
reflexed, recurved, white, with a narrow yellowish outer edge ;
inner margin slightly thickened, but without a distinct rim or
flange. Columella oblique, straight, forming an angle with basal
lip but not notched at base. Parietal wall black. Alt. 60, diam.

i, p. 118, pi. 33, f. 3-5 ; Monogr., iv, p. 440.

This species is the rarest form of the restricted subgenus Auris.
It differs from A. illheocola in color-pattern, sculpture, less lengthened
form and straight columella. A. bernardii is most nearly allied to
A. chrysostoma, differing from the typical form of that species in the
less developed hardly noticeable rim or flange within the lip, the
absence of any trace of a notch at base of columella, and the exten-
sion of black inward upon the parietal wall. A. bernardii differs
from A. chrysostoma var. swainsoni in the white lip and columella
and lack of a lobe on the basal lip; agreeing with swain so ni in
absence of the basal notch.

106 AURIS.

The minute sculpture of bernardii, as shown in fig. 8, differs from
that of the allied species, but occasional specimens of chrysostoma
seem to offer an approach to it in pattern. The species is a critical
one, not to be hastily judged on the evidence of the two specimens
known to Pfeiffer, and the single one before me, these being so far as
I know, the only examples on record.

A. ILLHEOCOLA Moricand. PI. 39, fig. 19.

sutures, which are finely crenulated. Whorls 5£.

Aperture ovate, subvertical, white or nearly so inside (but in
immature shells showing conspicuous brown stripes) ; lip broadly re-
flexed, its face convex ; white, with a yellow outer border, sometimes
very pale ; no trace of a flange on inner edge of lip, and the columella
curves into basal lip without any indication of a notch. Columella

Differs from all the preceding species in the coarser and more
regular granulation, more lengthened contour, and more roseate suf-
fusion. There is no trace of an inner lip-flange, nor of a basal notch.
The subsutural folds do not often extend as far down as the hody-
whorl ; and the color pattern is subdued in tone, much less distinct
than in chrysodoma and bernardii.

AURIS-OTOSTOMTS. 107

Subgenus OTOSTOMUS Beck, 1837.

(For references see p. 95).

Shell obliquely ovate, of solid cretaceous texture, umbilicate ;
spire smooth without folds or rib-striae; aperture oblong, produced
forward below, two-thirds the shell's length ; peristome basin-shaped,
the outer lip broadly reflexed, with an inner concave flange, the
columella with a strong, plate-like fold. Type Auris signata.

The only known species inhabits the Province of Bahia, Brazil.
The flajiged lip, fold-bearing columella, and solid, cretaceous texture,
all indicate the close relationship of this form to the typical Auris
and to Eiufalichotis, and sunder it from such forms as B tdimus auris-
leporis.

The type of Otostomns was expressly stated by Gray and by Herr-
mannsen as early as 1847, to be A. signata. The subsequent selec-
tion of aurisleporis as type of Otostomus by von Martens (1860) can-
not therefore be held valid.

A. SIGNATA Spix. PI. 40, fig. 20.

Shell umbilicate-rimate, ear-shaped, solid, strong and opaque, cal-
careous ; white or nearly so, with four wide brown spiral bands, often
much interrupted or transformed into vertical streaks; spire white
or whitish, the apex black, several early whorls with a black sub-
sutural band, rarely lacking. Surface lusterless, roughened by very
irregular longitudinal wrinkles. Spire conic, short, apex obtuse;
whorls 5, the last oblong, distorted.

Aperture two-thirds the shell's length, oblong, oblique, produced
forward below, the opening very much contracted ; peristome white,
broadly reflexed, thick, its face basin-shaped, widened within by a
broad concave flange extending from base to above middle of outer
lip, its edge often weakly crenulated ; columellar margin reflexed,
thick, long and straight, its inner edge showing a rounded sinus be-
low and a wide lamellar fold above ; parietal wall short, covered
with a white callus. Alt. 41, diarn. 23 mill.

an excessively minute and superficial grated sculpture, as in

The form having longitudinal bands was called vittata by Spix,
but it seems to be merely an extreme pattern formed by the interrup-
tion of the irregular spiral bands of ordinary specimens.

Pelecycliilus Guildiug, ALBERS- MARTENS in Die Heliceen, 1860,

Shell fusiform or long-ovate, umbilicate ; striped or variegated
with brown on a light ground. Whorls 4$-5z, slightly convex, the
last either pinched at base and behind the lip or rounded. Aperture
about half the length of the shell, ear shaped, the outer lip reflexed,
sinuous, usually thickened within ; columella with an oblique fold,
often very strong. Surface sir late or diamond-granulate, never with
spirally arranged granules, some whorls of spire rib-striate. Type
A. distorta Brug.

Distribution, Venezuela, Trinidad and some adjacent islands ;
Para, Brazil. Living on trees.

The shells of this group have much in common with the Auri*
species, .4. (Eudolichotis) sinuata having the basal notch as in Auris

Eudolichotis is also allied to Gonyostomus, but differs markedly in
the style of sculpture and the sinuous or calloused peristome.

The species are all excessively mutable, the range of individual
variation almost connecting some species which are typically very
unlike. In many cases strong variations occur indiscriminately
among individuals from one locality, and are not correlated
with geographic range ; thus the specimens of .4. sinuata or A.
euryomphulus which I have figured are all from the same place. In
A. distorta and A. glabra an attempt has been made to diagnose
racial forms ; but series of specimens with geographic data which
would ordinarily be held sufficient for satisfactory specific work, are
in Emlolichotis comparatively inconclusive. The results recorded be-

It is hardly necessary to state that the " key " here presented
merely gives suggestions as to the identity of any given specimen.
No key can be made which will open to us the labyrinth of varia-

An extremely variable species, differing from its allies mainly in
having the mouth more contracted.

Typical A. distorta (pi. 40, figs. 24, 25, 26) is an abundant spe-
cies in the neighborhood of Puerto Cabello. It is large (about 55
mill, alt., but sometimes smaller, at times as large as 72 mill.), very
distinctly diamond-granuled on the back, with pinched basal keel,
a capacious pit and trench behind the outer lip, and an extremely
contracted aperture, the very strong, transverse columellar fold ap-
proaching near to the boss within the outer lip. In most specimens
the lip and columellar fold are white, parietal callus translucent ;
but many occur with the fold partly brown, and the parietal callus
dark. These lead toward the rarer form in which the whole peris-
tome is intense brown (fig. 32, specimen from Arva).

Var. suBL-asvis Pils. (pi. 40, fig. 30, from Arva, figs. 28, 29, from
Puerto Cabello, and fig. 27, from La Guayra) is constantly smaller
(alt. 34-42 mill.) and smootlier; lip white or black-brown ; external
coloration creamy, cream and brown, or white and purplish, some
examples being boldly maculated. Form of aperture typical, or
with a callus buttress below outer end of columellar fold (fig. 27).

Var GRACILIS Pils. (pi. 40, fig. 31). Lengthened and slender,
smoothish, the sculpture sub-obsolete on body-whorl, except at base ;
basal keel strongly pinched, as in typical distorta, but no noticeable
pit or' trench behind outer lip. Fleshy, with narrow, spaced,
obliquely descending dark stripes. Aperture less than half the
alt. ; outer lip scarcely sinuous ; columellar fold strong, compressed
and more horizontal than in the type. Suture conspicuously mar-
gined.

Described from specimens in the R. Swift collection in Mus. A.
N. S. P., received by him from Maracaibo, and believed by him to
be from Cucuta, Prov. Pamplona, U. S. Columbia. It has the
slender contour of var. guairensis, and the pinched basal keel of
typical distorta.

Var. GUAIRENSIS Jousseaume. (pi. 40, fig. 21, Jousseaume's type,
and 22, from La Guayra ; fig. 23, from Caracas.) Smaller, more
lengthened and more slender than the typical distorta ; base less
pinched. Color whitish or fleshy, clouded longitudinally with
purplish-brown. Surface strongly sculptured with longitudinal
close wrinkle-strise, conspicuous below sutures, more or less broken
into long granules on body-whorl, which is less compressed than
in distorta and scarcely excavated behind outer lip.

Aperture generally less than half the alt. of shell, the opening
less sinuous, less contracted than in distorta. Outer lip less thick-
ened inside and but slightly sinuous ; basal margin less contracted ;
parietal fold rather more horizontal, and often with a callus below
its outer end. Lip white ; parietal wall generally brownish within.

The slender form, vertically plicatulate sculpture, less pinched
base, less sinuous outer lip and consequent lack of excavation be-
hind it, would entitle this to rank as a species distinct from distorta
were it not for the intermediate specimens I have seen, which do
not allow me to retain it specifically apart.

Var. BISUTURALIS Pils. PI. 44, figs. 81, 82.

Shell with the spire more slender and ivhorls more convex than in
A. distorta, solid, fleshy or buff whitish, with a few oblique stripes
or none. Surface with the growth-wrinkles somewhat sinuous or
interrupted on the last whorl, about as in A. glabra. Whorls 5£,
separated by impressed sutures, which are bordered below by a nar-
row margin defined by a distinct groove; the last whorl compressed
at base and behind the peristome.

Aperture more open than in any other form of .4. distorta, much as
in A. glabra, the outer lip less calloused within than in A. distorta
var. guairensis ; base moderately produced. Columella with the
usual convex fold, bearing a rather deep-seated, narrow, subhori-
zontal callous flange on its lower edge. Parietal wall white or
faintly brownish.

The aperture is more open and the columellar fold is very much
less developed than in ^4. distorta ; but the compressed base and
form of the columellar fold forbid a union with A. glabra. Five
specimens examined.

A larger specimen, more variegated with brown, and without the
superimposed narrow callus on the columella, but still, in my opin-
ion, referable to this subspecies, is before me, labelled " Bogota, N.

descending stripes of brown or purple-brown, sometimes interrupted
and anastomosing. Surface smoothish, i-ather faintly wrinkle-striate,
the stride more or less broken into diamond-granules on the base.
Whorls slightly over 5, the last flattened and more or less excavated
behind the lip, the base prolonged and decidedly pinched.

Closely allied to A. glabra, but the mouth is longer, more pro-
duced and narrow below, and the shell thinner with strongly pinched
base as in A. distorta. It may be found to intergrade with glabra,
however, in which case the Trinidad form will stand as a subspecies
or variety, as Guppy ranks it in his latest consideration of the
subject.

This form was first described and figured by PfeifFer, many years
ago as B. cegotis Menke, the type being from Menke's collection ;
but Menke had previously used the name B. cegotis as an equivalent
of Volida glabra Gmel., thus preventing the later definition of the
form in his collection under the same name.

The typical A. glabra is a strong, solid shell when mature, with
thick lip, strong, callous columellar fold ; the base but little pinched,
and the aperture not much produced downward. It is decidedly
more solid than A. aurissciuri, and much less compressed below. I
know of no authentic localities for it on the Spanish main, nor on
Antillean islands other than those mentioned above.

The figures show the main aspects of variation. Fig. 33, may be
regarded as altogether typical. Fig. 37 represents an albino spec-
imen collected by Dr. B. Sharp.

hardly contracted in the middle. Peristome well reflexed, with re-
curved edge, white, the outer lip slightly thickened within near the

This is another form very closely allied to ^1. glabra. It is smaller
and thinner, with thinner lip, more regular granulation and striping,
and especially differs in the abrupt curve of the lip above, which
at the upper insertion lies nearly at a right angle with the
outer lip. A. aurissciuri has the base more pinched and the aperture
more prolonged at base. There is not much variation in the dozen
specimens before me from Para.

ple-brown. Surface smoothish, striate on spire, the body-whorl ob-
scurely wrinkle-granose, and showing traces of a microscopic gran-
ulation. Whorls 5*, the last somewhat ascending in front, the base
abruptly pinched into a raised convexity defined by a scar- like groove.
Aperture vertical, exceeding half the alt. of shell, elliptical, angular
above and vfith a conspicuous notch or sinus at base. Peristome
white, reflexed, the edge recurved ; outer lip evenly curved, its lower
half or third thickened within and often denticulate, terminating
abruptly in a boss or tooth at the base. Columellar lip broadly re-
flexed, flaring forward (fig. 51). Columella white, sinuous, with a
long spirally entering fold above. Parietal wall covered with a

Differs conspicuously from ^1. distorta, glabra and their allies in
the channel or notch at the base and the differently formed outer
lip. It is allied to A. euryomphala, perd'tx, etc.

Variation is extreme in this as in other species of the group.
The basal notch may be either wide (fig. 49 typical), very narrow
(fig. 50), or even obsolete (fig. 53). The columellar lip also varies
in form, fig. 54 representing a specimen in which it is deeply sin-
used. The callous ledge within outer lip may bear several small den-
ticles and end in a strong tooth, or it may be smooth, with no tuber-
cle below. Sometimes the columellar fold is scarcely visible from in
front.

with a groove or two defining the convexity. Suture narrowly mar-

The variations seen in Caracas specimens are well shown by
the illustrations. Figs. 59, 60, 61 represent typical euryomphala, in
which the aperture is long and subvertical, guttered at base, and the
lip is gently arched toward the upper insertion. Figs. 56, 57 are
Pfeiffer's type of B. otostomus, in which the aperture inclines ob-
liquely forward toward the base, is short and trapezoidal, and the
outer lip is very strongly arcuate toward the upper insertion. In
fig. 55, these characters are more obvious. In fig. 58, is shown the
profile of a shell like otostomus in the angle of aperture, but like
euryomphala in its comparative size, intermediate between the two
in the curvature of the lip. Other examples before me unite the
several differential features of the two forms in such various styles
of combination that I do not see how any specific or varietal status
can be sustained for B. otostomus.

In a few of the larger specimens there is some trace of the long-
grained sculpture of A.sinuata; but the constantly smaller size,
smoothness, zig-zag pattern and less developed calluses of the mouth
are sufficient specific distinctions. There is sometimes a. strong
groove at root of columella, and the earlier whorls are faint orange
in some shells.

The typical form is slender, light colored with few dark oblique
stripes and scattered dots (figs. 64, 65) ; others have much heavier
marking (figs. 66, 67) ; and some specimens are a beautiful reddish
color (fig. 68), with more or less dark marking on the back. The
spire may be quite long and the figure of the shell slender (figs. 64,
67), or the spire may be short, body-whorl obese (figs. 66, 68).
These variations are well connected by intermediate examples.
Von Martens has referred this species to Anthinus, but it is very
closely allied to A. sinuatus, and has no intimate relationship with
A. multicolor, the type of Anthinus.

Through the courtesy of Prof. William B. Dwight, of Vassar Col-
lege, I have been able to describe this species from the type and
another specimen preserved in the museum of that college. The
general contour is that of A. distorta, but the lip is narrow, as in A.

AURIS-GON YOSTOMUS. 1 2 1

goniostoma. The hydrophanous zigzag lines are seen in no other
species of Auris.

The minute papillose sculpture is the same as that of A. midas,
but coarser. The spire is somewhat costulate, there is no trace of
spiral sculpture, and the lip is sinuous; it therefore appears that A.
hauxwelli is a member of the group of A. distorta, rather than of the
A. goniostoma group in which there is distinct spiral sculpture, nou-
costulate and longer spire, and the lip is not sinuous.

A. hauxwelli \s one of the most peculiar and beautiful species of
the family Bulimulidce.

Subgenus GONYOSTOMUS Beck, 1837.

(= Gonyostomus or Goniostomus plus Anthinus Alb. For refer-
ences see p. 96).

Shell rimate-umbilicate, fusiform or ovate-conic, with 5-5s gently
convex whorls. Surface finely granose spirally. Aperture elliptic
or ovate, angled above, rounded below, or angular at base also; the
peristome evenly, narrowly expanded or reflexed ; outer lip evenly
arcuate, not sinuous, with no internal callous projection; columellar
lip free, inserted high, the columella with a deep-seated and weak
fold. Type A. goniostoma.

Distribution, south-eastern Brazil.

Gonyostomus differs from Endolichotis in the system of sculpture
and in having an evenly arcuate peristome, in a level plane, the lip
neither sinuous nor with callous thickenings within. The union of
A. goniostoma with the distorta group, and of .4. perdix and midas
with A. multicolor, on account of the angulation or roundness of the
bases, is a thoroughly unnatural grouping. A. multicolor is closely
allied to hybrida and goniostoma in sculpture, color, texture, and
characters of the aperture, while A. perdix and midas are closely
connected with the distorta group by intermediate species. Both
Etidolichotis and Gonyostomus include species with angular and
species with rounded bases. This feature is no more a group charac-
ter in Bulimoid shells than the angulation of the periphery is in
Helices ; and the reference of all forms having the base angular to
one subgenus is as artificial an arrangement as the Lamarckian
" genus " Caracolla for all keeled Helices.

Shell varying from ovate-conic to oblong, columnar or lanceolate ;
umbilieate or imperforate ; aperture with the lip thin, generally not
expanded ; columella expanded, rather straight, sometimes with a
caJlous fold within. Apical whorls either smooth, vertically costu-
late or wrinkled, or with the wrinkles interrupted and broken into
granules ; never sculptured with spiral and vertical raised strice form-
ing a minute grating.

Radula substantially as in the normal, terrestrial Helicid;i .

Jaw composed of rather few plates with vertical, narrowly free
lateral edges not sufficiently converging to form a triangular area of
shorter plates in the middle.

Genitalia without accessory organs or appendages.

Type Bulimulus e.rili* (Gmelin).

DISTRIBUTION : Warm temperate and tropical America, from
Argentina and Chili north to Arkansas and Tennessee. No spe-
cies of Bulimulus occur in the Eastern Hemisphere, although sev-
eral genera, such as the Australian Liparn*, and Placostylus, a group
of the Melanesian tract, are closely allied to American genera.

The species of Bulimulus live by preference on the ground or on
low herbage or shrubs. Hibernation or sestivation usually takes
place in the soil, but they sometimes activate on bushes during dry
weather.

Bu/imn/us is here used in the sense in which it has been under-
stood by von Martens in his several references to the genus since
1873. This is a narrower meaning than the ordinary usage, and
practically equivalent to Orthotoiniinn of Crosse and Fischer. It is
closely allied to DRYMJRUS (=0tostomus Martens, not of Beck as
restricted by Gray and Herrmannseu), but differs in the Helicid
character of the teeth, and to a less extent in the fewer, wider, less
converging ribs of the jaw. The shells differ in the system of sculp-
ture of the apical whorls, which in Drijma>us show a very fine grat-
ing formed by the intersection at right angles of vertical and spiral

stritc, iu the vast majority of species; but in a few there are spirals,
without distinct grated pattern. No BULIMULUS /ia* this type of
apical sculpture.

It is, therefore, possible to ascertain the generic position of any
specimen in which the apex is unworn, from the shell alone, if a
lens of high power be used in the examination. The exceptions to
this statement being extremely few in number, so far as my obser-
vations extend. On the other hand, it is frequently impossible to
decide with certainty the position of species which one may know
only by descriptions and figures, since these do not, in most cases,
afford the requisite information upon the minute sculpture of the
apices. In the grouping of such forms in this work, the general
features of the shell have served as a guide, but it must be expected
that further examination of specimens will result in a certain num-
ber of transpositions and exchanges of species between the genera
Bnlimulu* and Drymceas.

Bulimnlm differs from Plekocheilus and Auris mainly in the
simpler shell, without the modifications of lip and columella char-
acteristic of those genera.

CLASSIFICATION. Bulimulus has been subdivided into a large
number of subordinate groups, based upon the contour and texture
of the shell. The subgenera so formed are in many cases neither
consistent geographic groups, nor are the characters of shell-contour
upon which they are grounded, correlated with anatomical distinct-
ions. It is here proposed to abandon the divisions founded upon
these characters, and to substitute a classification based primarily
upon the sculpture of the nep ionic or apical ichorls. This feature is
in most species readily observable in adult specimens with a lens of
ordinary power; and the examination of extensive series shows it to
be remarkably and to an unexpected degree constant throughout
large groups of species. The groups indicated by the several types
of embryo sculpture are confirmed by the anatomical characters, so
far as these are yet known, and they are in every case which has
come under my observation, consistent geographically.

In course of the development in this volume and the one to follow,
of the system outlined below, it will be observed that in many cases
a series of species " parallel " in contour, texture and general aspect
recurs in each of the main divisions of the genus. Thus the groups
Perona'tix (Chili, Peru), Plcuropyryii* (Galapagos) and Plicolidiuui,
(Lower California) are very similar in their narrow, long contour,

and were formerly brought together ; but a study of the apical
whorls shows that each of these groups is a special " parallel " modi-
fication of different Bulimulus stocks of ordinary form inhabiting each
of these regions, and it becomes clear that they are totally indepen-
dent and unrelated groups, with an origin and past history different
in each case. Again, an adequate study of specimens will, in my
opinion, convince conchologists that the similarity in appearance
between Chili-Peruvian and northern Mexican forms of the B. pro-
tens, erythrostomus, schiedeanns and montezuma groups, is not evi-
dence of close relationship but merely of similar environments. It
is unnecessary in this place to multiply instances of such parallelism
in the Bulimi.

Primary divisions of JBulimulus.

I. Apical whorls smooth, not wrinkled, costate or granular. Spe-
cies of Ecuador, Peru, Chill, Bolivia and Argentina.
II. Apical whorls irregularly wrinkled subvertically, or with the
wrinkles wavy, dislocated or variously broken into granules.
Species of Tropical America, West Indies and Galapagos Is.
III. Apical whorls with regular, straight vertical riblet*. Species of
northern Mexico, Lower California and the southern United
States.

The jir4 of these groups consists of the single subgenus BOSTRYX,
including several "sections " of little systematic worth.

The second contains several subgenera (see Nautilus ix, 114, and
the next volume of this work).

The third forms the subgenus ORTHOTOMIUM, with two " sections,"
Sonorina (n. n. for Leptobyrsus) and Plicolumna.

the outer lip unexpanded or expanded, colurnellar lip dilated
above.

Distribution of typical form?, Chili, Peru, adjacent part of Bolivia
and Ecuador, the Andean highland and the Pacific slope ; a group
of thin-shelled specie*, part of them doubtfully referable to this
genus, extends eastward across Bolivia and Argentina.

Boxtri/.i; in the enlarged sense herein proposed, forms a compact,
readily recognized subgeneric group, well distinguished by the
smooth and frequently rather teat-like apex, more or less calcareous
texture, and unexpanded or but little expanded lip. It is an equally
compact group geographically, being confined to the elevated
Andean region of Peru, Bolivia and Chili and its western slope to
the Pacific, with some species in Argentina. To the north and
northeast other and distinct groups of JBulimulidce completely re-
place Bo-ftry.r.

Although the variation of contour is greater within this subgenus
than in any olher group of Bulimulidce, the series of species is really
not markedly discontinuous, as intermediate forms still existing
largely bridge the spaces between the several extremes of divergence.
The subdivisions used below are, therefore, t/roiijt* of but xJiyht xyde-
matic value, and might well be dispensed with were it not that it
seems convenient to divide a subgenus so numerous in species.

This species is so excessively peculiar that comparisons with other
forms would be superfluous. The specific name given by Philippi
is preoccupied for another species belonging to Lissoacme, a closely

This curious species, allied to B. umbilicaris of Bolivia, inhabits
the elevated country between the vallies of Abancay and Ayacucho,
occurring on grass in stony places. The specimens collected at
Huanta are generally 18 mill, long, corresponding to Pfeiffer's de-
scription. Those from Pucra, a colder locality, attain the size of 23
by 5? mill. The form streaked with tawny also occurs at this
place. (Morelef).

Var. umbilicatcllus Pilsbry. PI. 44, figs. 93, 94.

Allied to B. infundibulum, but form slenderer, umbilicus decidedly
narrower, and aperture shorter. White, becoming bluish on the
spire, several of the earlier whorls deep purple-brown. Surface
sculptured ivith rather close, distinct strict, which become more sep-
arated and irregular on the last whorl, and are absent on the first
two. Whorls 8i, rather convex, the last compressed at base,
angular around the narrowly funnel-shaped umbilicus.

This shell looks like B. infundibulum, but is at once distinguished
by the sculpture. Instead of being smooth like umbilicaris, or
densely covered with stride as in infundibulum, it is ornamented with
little projecting, regular, spaced ribs, with no stride in the intervals.
The amplitude of the umbilicus and shortening of the aperture
separate it moreover from the second of these species, with which
its relationship is more intimate. The shell is solid, whitish, with-
out luster, the earlier whorls corneous and transparent. (Morel.*).

corneous toward the apex. Whorls 9, nearly flat, lightly coarctate
in the middle, the last whorl nearly a third the total length, com-
pressed at base, with a crenulated angle around the wide and deep
umbilicus.

Aperture narrow, oblong, pale tawny inside ; peristome continu-
ous, simple, the upper margin unexpanded, columellar margin
slightly spreading. Alt. 15, diam. 5 mill. (Morel.").

BULIMULUS-BOSTRYX. 133

This shell belongs to the same group as the preceding, but differs
in certain particulars. The most noticeable is the ornamentation of
the surface, which consists of elevated distant, curved ribs, like those
of a Scala. These ribs begin on the third whorl, the summit being
smooth and corneous. Very pronounced at the beginning, the ribs
enlarge and become wider spaced with the increase of the shell, are
continued into the umbilical cavity and persist to the extreme limit
of the shell. The intercostal spaces have lower, finer riblets. An-
other differential character is the form of the aperture. Not only
is the cavity narrower than in other species of this group, but the
margins are united above, as though the peristome were continuous.
The outer lip is narrow ; it surpasses the columellar margin, the
dilation of which is very weak, sometimes almost absent. Umbilicus
strictly analogous to that of tubulatus and infundibulum. The
whorls of the spire also have a peculiarity ; the earlier are rounded,
but little by little the convexity diminishes, and toward the middle a
contraction becomes quite noticeable. This causes a sort of indis-
tinct bulging below the sutures, which gives the spire a turriculate
appearance. {Morel.}.

With the exception of the first smooth whorls, the shell is roughened
by rather coarse and irregular longitudinal wrinkles.

This form differs from B. xcalaricosta and tubulates in the restric-
tion of the umbilicus to a narrow perforation, and in the very deep
sutures. This last character, with the blunt angulation of the
whorls, allies it to B. solutus.

as originally proposed contained species of Perrieria and true Clau-

which it apparently differs mainly in being sinistral. It is known
to me from the figure and description only.

The closely reflexed and appressed columellar margin leaving but
a narrow chink-like perforation, and the regularly tapering spire
are characteristic. In young shells the columellar reflexion is
shorter. The bands are often more or less interrupted into spots ;
the basal band is wider; and there is occasionally a short fifth
band immediately at the base. Some specimens are larger than
above indicated, alt. 26, diam. 7J mill.

The only known locality for this species lies considerably north
of the range of other slender Bostryx forms.

cylindrical ; the last whorl is angular below. The shell is shining
and corneous, appearing smooth to the naked eye, but with magni-
fication some growth-stride become visible. The coloration gener-
ally consists of a wide russet-brown band revolving upon a whitish
ground ; the first whorls are always of a uniform brownish shade.
Sometimes the band is indistinct or replaced in whole or in part by
oblique streaks, somewhat confused, reaching from suture to suture.

The numerous species of this group are restricted to northern
Chili, Peru and the adjacent districts of Bolivia. They inhabit rain-
less situations for the most part, and are found under or among
stones, or at the roots of grass or cacti. Hypsometrically, they
range from near sea-level in Chili, to over 13,000 feet altitude on
the Andean Plateau.

The group is closely allied to LI»soacme, being distinguished merely
by the narrow form, generally more numerous whorls and smaller
aperture.

This species shows sometimes a whitish, sometimes an almost rose-
red color. It differs from B. lichenum in the smaller size, thinner
shell and different coloration ; the peristome is more strongly ex-
panded, especially toward the columella, and the ends approach
more. It differs from B. terebralis in being umbilicated, less
slender, and with more approaching ends of the peristome. (Phil.).

Bulimus emaciatus MOREL., Ser. Couch., iii, p. 201, pi. 11, f. 10
(1863).— PFR., Monogr., vi, p. 119.

This species, belonging to the group of B. lic/inium, hamiltoni,
rhodacme, etc., is a very much elongated shell, solid, white, moder-
ately shining, with rare traces of punctation. The two or three
earlier whorls of the spire are smooth and corneous; the following
are engraved with oblique and rather wide but superficial stria* ; the
last whorl has a moderate aperture, noticeably angular at the base
and fawn-colored inside. The columella is nearly vertical, dilated
feebly above, forming a triangular lamina which is applied to the
umbilical region. When this expansion does not adhere quite

144 BUL1MULUS-BOSTRYX-PERON/EUS.

exactly to the part of the whorl-wall there is a narrow chink left,
which must not be confused with a real perforation.

B. emarintiiK is not without analogy with B. hamiltoni, but is dis-
tinguished by the lengthened spire with three more whorls, by the
form of the aperture and the absence of an umbilical perforation.
Moreover, the shell is less rudely and less deeply striate. (Morel.).

B. SPICULATUS Morelet. PI. 45, fig. 29.

Shell r-imate, subulate, slightly solid, pale brownish ashen, some-
times with faint oblique brown streaks, the apical whorls either
corneous, purplish or reddish. Surface lusterless, closely, finely and
rather regularly rib-striate. Spire slowly tapering with slightly con-
vex outlines to an obtuse apex. Whorls about 1(H, the earlier
smooth and convex, the rest nearly flat ; last whorl gently rounded
below, the rib-striae extending into umbilical rimation.

Aperture small, contained about 4j times in altitude of shell,.
chestnut-brown within, oblique. Outer lip acute, slightly ex-
panded below ; columella rather long, its inner edge with a convex
fold; outer margin dilated above; parietal callus slight. Alt.

BULIMULUS-BOSTRYX-PERONJEUS. 145

Distinguished from other species of the same group, by the insen-
sible tapering of the spire toward the apex, and cylindrical form
toward the base. The earlier three whorls are of a brownish-violet,
which fades out below, the latter two whorls being nearly pure
white. The umbilical region ordinarily has a trace of a russet zone.
The surface is engraved with irregular, flexuous stria?, more pro-
nounced toward the sutures; and there is a small number of brown
or corneous dots, scattered at random over the surface.

This species is especially distinguished by the compression of the
last whorl. All of the specimens collected, about 30 in number,
were so characterized ; and in most of them the compression was so
great that the whorl could not be called convex, and an indication
of two faint keels was meutionable. Most of the specimens were
weathered and had lost their color, wholly or in part. On some
could be seen that on a yellowish translucent ground, there are very
irregular, white, opaque flecks ; that further, a few irregular longi-
tudinal brown streaks occur ; and that there are narrow, brown
interrupted spiral bauds, three on the upper, six on the last whorl.

This Bulimus is white with a perceptible tint of fawn at the
base, and some sparse vestiges of punctation. Certain individuals
are unicolored, others ornamented with gray bands which are more
or less numerous, sometimes confluent, and visible within the aper-
ture. The earliest whorls of the spire are smooth and corneous ; the
rest sculptured with small, low, sinuous and close riblets, progres-
sively enlarging and then becoming unequal and confused ; the last
sometimes with cracks and irregular rugosities. It is narrower than
B. albicolor. This species lives at Pomacocha and Cocharcas, tem-
perate vallies of the plateau of the Cordillera, where the culture of
wheat reaches its extreme limit.

Lissoacme PILS., Nautilus, ix, p. 114 (Feb. 1, 1896). — Scutahis
Thaumastm and Ehabdotus in part of authors.

Bulimuli of rather stout, ovate contour, with the smooth, glossy
first whorl and initial dimple of Bostryx. Aperture over a third,
usually about one half the total length, the outer lip simple and uu-
expanded (with very few exceptions), the columellar lip dilated, col-
umella foldless or nearly so ; umbilicate or perforate. Type B. ery-
tlirostomus,

The forms included in this section (which like the foregoing sec-
tions of Bostryx is a division for convenience rather than a sharply
defined group) are especially characteristic of Chili, Peru, and the
adjacent portion of Bolivia. Few occur so far north as Ecuador.
Eastward, the group extends entirely across Argentina, but here the
species are conspicuously thin-shelled, while the trans-Andean types
are of solid and earthy texture.

North American Bulimuli of the B. dealbatus and schledeanus
group closely resemble the Lissoacme species in form and texture,,
but the characters of the earliest whorls are completely different.

BULIMULUS-BOSTRYX-LISSOACME. 155-

The smooth apex is a perfectly constant and reliable diagnostic
feature ; but as few descriptions mention the minute sculpture of the
apex, it is impossible at present to classify with any degree of cer-
tainty, those forms not known to me 'by specimens. It will be
necessary to reexamine the types of a large number of species, in
order to discriminate between some forms of Scutalux, Lissoacme,.
Leptomerus and even Drymceus. Some thin species of Argentina and
Boliviat in particular are of doubtful position, and will remain so
until the characters of their apices are made known.

The species are very numerous, and for the present may be thrown
into groups as follows :

a. Adult shell strongly keeled ; surface malleated,

Group of B. reentsL
aa. Adult shell with rounded periphery.

b. Outer lip expanded, Group of B. derelictus*

bb. Outer lip not expanded.

c. Surface wrinkled or striate, with no spiral lines,

Group of B. henna hL
cc. Surface wrinkled or striate, with spiral lines,

Group of B. erythrostomus*

cec. Shell thin, unicolored or streaked, species of Argentina
and Bolivia, Group of B. apodemetes.

Group of B. reentsi.

B. REENTSI Philippi. PL 48, figs. 89, 90.

Shell umbilicated, ovate-conic, keeled, solid and calcareous. Dull
white. Surface roughly sculptured with very irregular longitudinal
and short transverse wrinkles, having a crinkled or shrivelled
aspect. Spire conic ; apex mamillar, smooth and corneous, or some-
times eroded. Whorls 7, slightly convex, the last carinated at the
periphery, but slightly convex below, not excavated around the
rather narrow but deep and well-? ike umbilicus.

Aperture less than half the length of shell, very oblique, subrhom-
boidal ; peristome white, sharp, the outer and basal lips expanded ;
columella straight, reHexed, the recurved margin wider above, partly
closing the umbilicus ; parietal wall calloused. Entire interior of
aperture deep purple and rose.

Slightly like B. binneyanus Pfr., but differs markedly in sculpture,
and in the absence of a keel on the whorls of the spire. Reeve very
justly compares it to .B. lemnixcatus Desh., a species which is not
keeled, but is certainly nearly allied.

Pfeiffer restored Gray's name to this species in the later volumes
of the Monographia because the date of presentation of Gray's de-
scription before the Zoological Society of London was prior to
Philippi's publication. Philippi's description, however, was actually
jniblished in the sense of being printed and distributed, first ; so that
under existing rules, which disregard the mere date of reading, the
name reentsi has precedence.

The coloring varies a good deal, as the figures show. The surface
is more rudely wrinkled than in the allied species. Morelet's B.

streaks. Surface lusterless, with rather coarse but not conspicuous
wrinkles of growth, without spiral strite. Spire turrited, attenuated
above, with obtuse, smooth apex and comma-shaped axial dimple.
Whorls 8, the first rapidly increasing and rather bulbous, the rest
narrowly convoluted, moderately convex, the last rather dispropor-
tionately large and convex, obtusely angular around the capacious
umbilicus, which penetrates to the apex and is dusky inside.

Somewhat like B. hennahi, but the whorls are more numerous
and narrower, the spire more turrited and distinctly concave-sided
above, the surface smoother and the coloration different. Eleven
specimens, of which three are mature, are before me. The old shells
lack the initial whorl or two, and do not show the rich coloration of
the younger specimens ; and the change of contour from young to
old is unusually marked.

Hidalgo describes the following varieties of coloring :

Var. : Shell brown, generally somewhat violaceous on the spire,
not streaked or indistinctly so, the aperture entirely blackish-brown
within (figs. 18, 19).

Var. : Shell almost unicolored, whitish.

The figure given by Reeve is said by Hidalgo to represent a
slightly deformed individual, thesubangulate character of the basal
lip being abnormal. Figures 16, 17 represent the ordinary form.

The shell resembles B. eatlowiwPfr., and as the apex is unknown,
it may prove to be a Scutalus. I have not seen the species.

Sowerby, in his original description, mentions two forms of this
species, one more ventricose than the other. Reeve has called the
stouter form B. coagulatus ; but Hidalgo reunites the two. The
series of coagulatus before me shows no slender individuals ; but I
have not been able compare Reeve's form with conspersus, as that
species is not represented in our collection.

The prominent features of B. modestus are its rather turrited form,
and raised, thread-like striae, which are, however, often quite irreg-
ular in degree of development on different parts of the shell, and
vary from whitish to the tint of the ground-color. The dull, brown-
streaked coloring is also characteristic. In B. striatulus and orbi-
gnyi this is varied by spiral whitish bands; but I quite agree with
Hidalgo that the several forms are specifically identical, the series
before me well connecting them. The banded form is from Lima
{Cumiug, Paz, Martinez and de Lattre).

This species has some resemblance to B. scutulatus ; but it is dis-
tinguished by the visibly swollen spire, more elongated, by the nar-
rower and angular aperture, smoother texture, and finally the com-
pletely different tint. However, it should be placed near B. scutida-

Balsas, valley of Maranon R., Peru (H. W. Webb).

A very solid, earthy shell, irregularly streaked with light reddish,
and often with some purplish streaks. Besides the tray of 5 typical
specimens from Balsas, we have a series of 7 without other locality
than "Peru." These are white, a few showing some streaks just
behind the lip ; the apertures dull purplish or nearly white. With
the general figure of B. limonoicus Orb., this is a much more solid
species, larger, and with more whorls. B. scutulatus is closely allied,
but in that the aperture is much narrower in proportion to its length,
and the columellar lip of a very different shape. B. andicola Pfr.,
a similarly marked species, has the spire more slender and is said to
be sculptured with close concentric lines.

B. ANDICOLA Pfeiffer. PI. 50, fig. 46.

Shell perforate, turrited-conic, solid; seen under the lens to be

rather acute. Whorls 7, a little convex, the last about equal to
three-sevenths the shell's length, rotund at base. Columella a little
receding below. Aperture oval-oblong, the peristome simple, acute,
columellar margin vaultingly reflexed above, forming a narrow per-

The interior of the aperture is a pale fallow tint ; and on the shell
may be seen some vestiges of the punctation observed in several
Peruvian species. The bands vary from none to eight ; the one be-
low the periphery and passing into the aperture, and that bordering
the umbilicus, ordinarily are continuous, the latter being the most
persistant. The unicolored rose variety is rare. It seems to be allied
to B. pictus Pfr.

This may belong to Drymceus.

B. scalariformis is well-named, having much the aspect of a stout,
fine-ribbed Scalaria. It varies to an extraordinary degree in form,
specimens from some localities being far wider in proportion to their
length than others. To a less extent it varies in coloring. The
sculpture of close, regular, rounded riblets is characteristic of all
specimens, however, so that it is readily identified. B. scalar if or mi*
is a common species in collections.

In form, this species has some resemblance to B. scalariformis,
which inhabits the same country, but not the same tract. It is a
larger species. The whorls of the spire, 6 in number, enlarge gradu-
ally, producing an acute and long cone, the last whorl, however, en-
larges considerably, so as to constitute two-thirds of the shell. The
suture is distinct, the umbilicus narrow, not deep, half covered by
the columellar expansion.

The three examples examined agree in the main, but one has the
spire somewhat stouter and the last whorl less conspicuously inflated.
It is not closely allied to any species known to me. The aperture hap-
pens to be formed as in B. stenacme Pfr., which, however, is similar
neither in form nor color. The apex is quite obtuse, earliest whorls
blue-black or brown, beyond these the rapidly increasing whorls are
gray-blue somewhat streaked, the dark brown underlying layer show-
ing through in a few places. The suture is rather deeply impressed, so
that the spire seems somewhat convex. As far as the middle of the
last whorl the breadth increases regularly ; then the whorl becomes
swollen and decidedly more convex, giving the shell the appearance
of being obliquely produced to the right. The aperture is simple,
with sharp lips, dark brown inside, columellar margin narrowly re-
flexed, so that the umbilicus is half covered (Dohnt).

The coloring of the aperture, upon which alone this species was
based, is not likely to prove a character of specific value, in view
of the wide variation observable in the numerous specimens of B.
erythrostomus before me.

B. HUASCENSIS Reeve. PI. 48, fig. 3.

Shell long-ovate, umbilicated, solid, opaque and Avhite, with indis-
tinct grayish streaks, or faintly pink with fleshy streaks. Surface
with irregular, fine growth-wrinkles and subobsolete spiral incised
lines above. Spire long, apex pink or corneous, obtuse, smooth.
Whorls 6, convex, sutures deep.

Aperture half as long as shell, ovate, light yellowish-brown inside ;
lip thin and acute. Columella broadly dilated, whitish, its inner

Decidedly smaller and thinner than well developed B. albns or
erythrostomus, but some specimens of the latter I have seen approach
albicans in stature. Hidalgo unites it with B. albus as a small
variety. See remarks on the species of this group, above.

The shell may be either almost white or much streaked and angu-
larly speckled, and the rose color of the mouth is often lacking, and
when present not very strong.

smooth, corneous. Surface smoothish, with wrinkles of growth, and
above the periphery cut into spiral series of long granules by spiral
lines. Spire conic, the apex obtuse, smooth. Whorls 5*, slightly

B. affinis is more slender than B. mejillonensis, with the apical
whorls and base of columella attenuated, and with an additional
whorl. B. paposensis Pfr. is considered by Hidalgo a synonym. I
consider it as at most a slight variety.

The specimens before me, two of which are figured, while doubt-
less belonging to this species, differ in coloration from Alber's de-
scription. One is opaque white, with numerous small corneous-
brown macuke and unequally spaced oblique chestnut streaks and
an ill-defined peripheral light girdle with traces of several others.
Another shell has numerous (6 or 7) girdles formed of more or less
coalescent corneous-brown flecks, and no oblique streaks.

The spire is somewhat attenuated above, formed of quite closely
coiled whorls, the apex rather small, but obtuse and smooth. The
later 2J or 3 whorls have regular, close rib-striae. Specimens meas-
ure: Alt. 19s, diam. 9i, alt. of aperture 8£, width (to outer edge
of columella) 6 mill. Alt. 20, diam. 10 ; alt. of aperture 8£ mill.

The species is close to B. striatus King in texture and sculpture,
but the spire is much stouter, especially below, as well as longer.

lected by Wallis.

white or clear ashy-gray, visibly marbled, the earlier whorls of a
darker shade, which on yellowish individuals is reddish-brown, and
on ashy-gray shells is blackish. Whorls 8, moderately convex,
slowly and regularly increasing; suture linear, well-defined. Ear-

We come now to a series of Bulimus of which B. striatiis mav be

considered, if not the type, at least the earliest known representative.
The present form is distinguished at first sight by the tawny lines,
always quite distinct though more or less dark, which zebra-stripe its
surface. Toward the termination of the last whorl, the irregularly
spaced lines become wider, diminish in intensity, and little by little
merge into a uniform violaceous tint, the strise becoming more pro-
nounced, giving the surface a rugose appearance. The spire is
longer than in B. munsteri Orb., the shell more solid, rougher, and
the color of the aperture is different. The habits also are diverse,
B. munsteri living under stones or moss, while B. radiatus lives in
the open air, on cacti, etc. B. nigropileatus Reeve, an umbilicated
shell, has the aperture wider and the last whorl more ventricose.
Finally, the absence of an umbilicus and the feebleness of the col-
umellar dilation are the principal characters separating it from />'.

Biilimus orophilns MOREL., Ser. Couch., iii, p. 189, pi. 9, f. 6
(1863).— PFR., Monogr., vi, p. 137.— HIDALGO, Mol. Viaje al Pacif.,
p. 118; Journ. de Conch., 1870, p. 63.

There are three color-forms ; unicolored white, longitudinally
striped with reddish, and banded with reddish or violaceous.

Two Bulimi, stenacme Pfr. and nigropileatns Reeve (to which re-
conditusReeve may be united as a variety), are extremely close allies
of B. orophilns. Although often banded, like nigropileatus, it never
has the apex colored like that. It is a more elongated shell, with
more acute spire, the aperture narrower, more oblique, the columellar
margin a little less dilated. B. stenacme differs in coloration, pro-
portions of aperture to spire, and the form of the aperture.

Morelet's comparisons, the substance of which is given above, are
based upon the descriptions and figures of nigropileatus and sten-
acme, not on comparison of specimens.

B. BALSANUS Morelet. PL 50, fig. 62.

Shell narrowly umbilicated, oblong-conic, delicate, costulate-stri-
ate, shining ; whitish-fleshy, sparsely streaked with reddish toward
the base, and marked with a few blackish dots. Spire tapering, the
apex acute, deep reddish. Whorls 6, a little convex, the last a little
shorter than the spire.

Aperture a little oblique, oblong oval, scorched-fulvous inside ;
peristome unexpanded, thin, the columellar margin dilated above,
reflexed. Alt. 19, diam. 8£ mill. (Morel.').

Bulimi is balsanus MOREL., Ser. Conch., iii, p. 192, pi. 9, f. 8. —
PFR., Monogr., vi, p. 138.

Smaller than B. orophilns, less elongated, and with a shining sur-
face. The surface is engraved with oblique, visibly sinuous, spaced and
shallow stria;, producing a more or less regular costulation, which dis-
appears on the latter moity of the last whorl, where it is ornamented
with very few, inconspicuous longitudinal reddish lines, as in the ma-
jority of the species of this group. Not one is banded. The apex is
corneous, glossy, bright red, sometimes brownish. The umbilicus is
a little narrower than in B. orophilns. It is dotted like B. orophilns.

B. CEREICOLA Morelet. PL 46, fig. 63.

Shell scarcely perforated, oblong-conic, delicate, shining, costulate-
striate; whitish, radiated with narrow tawny streaks, and marked

with a very few corneous dots. Spire visibly attenuated, the apex
acute, usually violaceous-blackish. Whorls 6, a little convex, the
last shorter than the spire, slightly attenuated at base ; coluinella
rather straight or receding.

Aperture slightly oblique, reddish-bordered, irregularly oval ; the
right margin thin, unexpanded, columellar margin dilated above,
appressed, nearly closing the perforation. Alt. 20, diam. 9 mill.

pi. 9, f. 7 ; B. cereicola MOREL., t. c., p. 193. — PFR., Monogr., vi, p.
138.

This species differs from B. balsanus in the absence of an umbil-
icus, which is reduced to an extremely narrow chink partly by the
reflexion of the columellar lip. Moreover, it is larger, with a wider
and at the same time less regular aperture, the coluinella being in
some specimens nearly vertical, and the outer lip very markedly
curved toward its insertion. The interior of the aperture is not en-
tirely fallow colored, as in the foregoing species, but only colored at
the edges, comprising all the visible part of the columella ; finally
the lines which ornament the exterior are fine and quite regularly
spaced.

with brownish-purple or chestnut, the spots confusedly arranged in
decurrent series, the base with a band of the ground-color circum-
scribing the umbilical region. Spire tapering, the apex corneous
and rather acute. Whorls 7, little convex, the last scarcely half the

137.

The largest specimens are 22 mill. long. It is a thin and fragile
species, recalling Coclilicella acuta in form, but larger and more
prettily colored. The umbilical perforation is narrow and masked
by the reflexion of the columellar lip ; the aperture is medium sized,
and partakes of the external coloring, by transparence. It is sculpt-
ured with fine, regular, perceptibly sinuous folds, which show as
yellowish lines. There is a buff form of this species, broadly streaked
with brown.

The sculpture of the apex is not known, and the delicacy of the
shell raises a doubt of the generic position of the species. It may
prove to be a Mesembrinus.

B. DENDRITOIDES Pilsbry, n. n. PI. 50, figs. 60, 61.

The inflated form, thin, light texture and conspicuous striping
render this an easily recognized form. In some places, such as
Cordoba de Tncuman, specimens occur without the chestnut stripes.
Doering has shown the jaw and teeth to be of the usual type in
Bulimulus. It is a widely distributed species. I fail to see any
differential characters, whatever, in Reeve's B. pessidatus, collected
by Bridges in Bolivia (fig. 4).

Bnlimus procliuis von MARTENS, Sitzungs-Berichtder Gesellschaft

Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin, 1888, no. 4, p. 64 (April 17).

-Bnlimus lacunosus Orb., MARTENS, Malak. Bl., xv, 1868, p. 177

("Urwalde bei Rodersberg ")• — B. Jheriiu/i CLESSIN, Malak. Bl.

(n. F.),p. 167.

The snail collected by Dr. Hensel, and compared with Bui.
sus in the Malakozoologische Blatter, 1868, p. 177, is this same species
in less well preserved condition. It belongs, according to the sculp-
ture of the earlier whorls, in the immediate group of Jin/, oratus, and
holds a relation to that species similar to that sustained by B. accel-
erans Marts, toward B. valenciennesi. (Martens).

196 APPENDIX.

No figure has been published. Dr. von Martens' description is
translated above. During the same year (1888), Clessin published
a description of this species under the name B. Iheringi. As it is
on one of the last pages of the Malak. Blatter for the year, while
von Martens' description appeared in the part of the Sitzungs-Ber-
icht for April, the latter apparently has priority. Clessin's descrip-
tion here follows:

B. iheringi Clessin. Shell lengthened globose, irregularly striated,
of a brown color. The sculpture of the second and part of the third
whorl is regularly, strongly ribbed, while the apex itself is nearly
smooth. The ribs on the fourth whorl do not extend as far as the
suture below, and become gradually more irregular in the following
whorls, remaining more strongly marked at the suture, and then
passing into irregular striae. Whorls 6, little convex, separated by
a deep suture, rather rapidly increasing, the last whorl composing
nearly a half of the shell. Aperture narrow-ovate; peristome very
much thickened and widened, reflexed, rose-red, the ends connected
by a strong, broad, closely appressed callus. Columella twisted,
much receding toward the left at its entrance to the aperture. Im-
perforate. Alt. 90, diam. 43, length of aperture 44 mill. (Cless.*).

Tagnara del Monde Ntiovo, Rio Grande do Sid, Brazil (H. v.
Ihering).

Dr. von Martens, who had the kindness to compare the sending
with the original examples in the Berlin Museum collected by Dr.
Hensel, writes regarding this species : " It is the same species which
I identified doubtfully as B. lacu.no*us in Mai. Bl., xv, p.. 177, from
a specimen of Dr. Hensel's in very poor preservation. The illustra-
tion of d'Orbigny corresponds fairly well, only B. lacunosus has a
white peristome and is more tapering above. It appears to be a new
species allied to B. lacunosus. The apical sculpture is like that of
B. sanctce &rucis " ( Cless.^).

APPENDIX. 197

" In my opinion B. oblong as is not indigenous in St. Vincent.
The Indians ate this and other large Bnlimi, and may readily have
introduced the species from the mainland, where it is common, and
where they often went on their forays " ( H. H. Smith).

In Grenada " this species is moderately common in gardens and
shady places below 1000 ft. Probably an imported species " (H. H.
Smith).

Bulimus oblongus has recently been found by Mr. H. G. Hubbard,
of the U. S. Agricultural Department, flourishing in St. Kitts, where
it has been introduced from Antigua by a resident conchologist.
(Da II).

blunt apex. Suture somewhat creuate. Last whorl very large,
nearly three times the length of spire. Color reddish-brown irregu-
larly strewn with drop-like spots of dark chestnut somewhat shaded,
fading out into whitish. Columella thread-like, white, open and
free, forming a weak spiral visible to the apex.
