Show 1873.] REV. J. T. GULICK ON ACHATINELLINCE. 91 Section PERDICELLA, Pease. Partulina mauiensis, Newc. Hab. Maui. Section EBURNELLA, Pease. Partulina variabilis, Newc. Hab. Island of Lanai. Pease has given the name Eburnella to a few small species from the island of Oahu, together with some of about the same size, but of very different character, from Lanai. The former are connected with the typical forms of Achatinella by several lines of complete gradation of type. The latter are a section of Partulina, but not sc completely connected. 6. NEWCOMBIA, Pfeiffer. Hab. Maui and Molokai. Type Newcombia cumingi, N e w c Hab. Maui. 7. AURICULELLA, Pfeiffer. Hab. Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. Type Auriculella auricula, Fer. Hab. Manoa and Palolo, on Oahu. Section F R I C K E L L A , Pfeiffer. Auriculella amcena, Pfr. Hab. Oahu. B. Terrestrial Genera. 8. CARELIA, H. & A. Adams. Hab. Island of Kauai. Type Carelia adusta, Gould. 9. AMASTRA, H. & A.Adams. Hab. All the Sandwich Islands. Type Amastra magna, C. B. Adams. Hab. Lanai. 10. LEPTACHATINA, Gould. Hab. All the Sandwich Islands. Type Leptachatina acuminata, Gould. Section LABIELLA, Pfeiffer. Leptachatina labiata, N e w c Hab. Lehui, on Oahu. I add some corrections relating to species described by me in the «Transactions of the New-York Lyceum of Natural History.' Three of these species I find had been previously described; therefore Leptachatina granifera, mihi, is a syn. of L. margarita, Pfr.; Bulimella limbata, mihi, is a syn. of B. byronn, Wood; Achatinella dimorpha, mihi, is a syn. of^l. curta, Newc. The rest of the seventy-three species described at that time, I find, after comparison of all the typical specimens in the British Museum and of all the descriptions published, to be good species. |
