Show 330 DR. O. BOETTGER ON N E W CLAUSILLE. [May 1, Var. EVANIDA, mihi. Typo multo minor, claviformis, anfr. 10, ultimo minus valide bicristato. Apert. multo minor, peristomate subappresso, vix expanso, hand reflexo. Lamellce plicceque minus validce; loco parietalis superioris obsoletce antice solum tuberculum album adest. Alt. 14 f, lat. 3| mm.; alt. apert. 3, lat. apert. 2 | mm. Sab. Asia Minor, without exact indication of habitat (my collection). Quasi a weakling, and easily to be distinguished from the type by the characters mentioned. 14. CLAUSILIA BREVICOLLIS, Pfr. Zeitschr. f. Malak. 1849 p. 107. Var. CASIA, mihi. Typo gracilior, albiclo-grisea, punctis strigisque obscuris adspersa, anfr. paullulum convexioribus, densestriatis nee costulatis. Apert. angustius rhomboideo-oblonga. Alt. 14^, lat. 3\ mm.; alt. apert. 3, lat. apert. 2\ mm. Sab. Island of Kasso (Spratt). Whilst the typical costulated C. brevicollis is till now only known from the island of Rhodes, this striated variety inhabits the island of Kasso. It is very probable that one will find this species also in a connecting form in the intermediate island of Karpatho. 15. CLAUSILIA ASTROPALIA, n. sp. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 5.) Aff. C. caerulea?, Fer., pusilla, sed obscure casia vel cinerea nee late lactea, cristis vel crista cervicis obsoleta.-T. parva, profunde arcuato-rimata, regulariterfusiformis, gracilis, tenera, oleo nitens, obscure casia vel cinerea subunicolor, apice nigra. Anfr. 10|-11 convexiusculi, sutura distincta submarginata disjuncti, vix striatuli, fere laves, ullimus antice striato-cos-tulatus, basi obsoletissime bicristatus, cristis brevibus, indi-stinctis, perapproximatis vel confluentibus, parum validius costulatis. Apert. parva, oblongo-ovafa, intus obscure hepatica ; perist. solutum. Caterum C. cseruleae, Fer., simillima. Alt. 13g-15g, lat. 3-3% mm.; alt. apert. 3-3|, lat. apert. 2|-2| mm, Sab. Island of Astropalia (Spratt). A fine new species of the carulea group, but smaller than G. carulea, Fer., and C. anaphiensis, Bttg., of an obscure yellowish-grey colour, and with nearly obliterated neck-crests, which are still more feeble than in O. maculata, Rssm. 16. CLAUSILIA MILLERI, Pfr. P. Z. S. 1849, p. 136. Island of Rhodes (Spratt), in the typical form and in a second form with more glabrate median whorls ; but still more allied to C. milleri, P., than to C. carulea, Fer. One only knew this species (or subspecies) till now from the island of Paros (Miller). 17. CLAUSILIA CARULEA, Fer. Prodr. 520. Now I know this interesting and variable shell with absolute certainty |
