56 2 (1) The back of the animal is dark, lower down it is lighter, its sole and its inner organs are not orange-coloured. The lower section of the penis which is divided in three parts is shorter than the middle one 3 3 (4) The retractor muscle sticks to the end of the penis. The stem of the spermatheca is longer than the bluntly circular or spherical spermatheca. The end of the oviduct is strongly swollen. Simrothi H. Wagn. 4 (3) The retractor muscle does not stick to the end of the penis, but to the end of the middle part of the penis. The stem of the spermatheca is about as long as the spermatheca itself which is oval shaped and pointed at the end. The end of the oviduct is thin, not swollen. Jetschini A. J. Wagn. Daudebardia (? Libania) aleppoica n. sp. The back of the animal is dark gray, towards its sides its colour fades into lighter grayish brown. Its sole is unicoloured grayish brown. Its tail is short and pointed. The length of the animal which has been preserved in alcohol is 13 mm, its width 5.5 mm, its height 6 mm. The shell is 5 mm long and 3 mm wide. Its shell is quite light yellow with a slightly green shade, on its sides it is darker. It is very bright, the number of the whorls is 2, the embryonal whorl is white. The whorls increase very suddenly, especially the last whorl's second half, which forms the 4/5 part of the shell. This last half whorl only bulges out at the top, lower down at about the middle part it gradually is deepened and fixed on the back of the animal as a saddle. The proportion between the embryonal shell and the last whorl is still greater than it is in the case of the Daudebardia Saulcyi. Through this the shell becomes entirely similar to that of the Testacella. On account of the colouring of its body and its saddleshaped shell it can easily be distinguished from the Daudebardia Saulcyi which is nearest to it. Up till now only one of its specimens has been known, it has been found near Aleppo (Haleb) in Syria. Its anatomic conditions being still unknown it can only, with reservation, be ranged in the subgenus Libania. We must, however, here note, that of the species inserted in this group we only know the organism of the Daudebardia Saulcyi. The anatomic peculiarities of
