Right: holotype. two thin folded ridges which also form numerous blind grooves paralleling the main one. A large area of fungiform papillae is evident near the base of the penial sheath. The sheath is lined with a dark purplish pigment that rubs off easily. Base color of the penis is white; groove edges are black. The penis is unarmed; the only projections are two small rows of papillae extending distad from the base on the lesser curve. Approximately ninety-five percent of the ingested contents of the crop consisted of tangled sections of Phyllospadix torreyi leaves. The remainder was mainly small fragments of algae. Sev- eral large angular and a few smaller acute corneal teeth, dis- placed from the grinding section of the anterior gizzard, were also present in the crop. Paratype: Allan Hancock Foundation Mollusc Specimen No. 1033. Similar to holotype except as otherwise noted. Width is slightly over one-half of the total length. Weight of the fresh specimen was 270 grams. Notes and color transparencies of the coloring of the paratype were made from the fresh specimen. Pigmentation of the foot is similar to the holotype except for fusion of the dark groove color into an almost black area posterior to the foot's midpoint. A dor- sal and lateral lightness, similar to the holotype, is overlaid by an irregular, asymmetrical reticulation of a light maroon pig- 147.
