Shell ( Figures 9, 10)

Globose-conical; apex obtuse; with distinct growth lines and irregular impressions, sometimes with periostracal riblets, especially on the upper whorls, without incised spiral striae; corneous; dully shining; subtranslucent; 2.75–3.75 inflated whorls separated by a deep suture; body whorl slightly descending towards the aperture, basally rounded; aperture truncate-rounded, edentate; peristome neither expanded nor reflexed nor thickened; columellar margin slightly dilated, hardly or partly covering the umbilicus; umbilicus taking 4–15% of the shell breadth. Shell measurements and ratios are listed in Tables I and II.

Remarks

Pupisoma macneilli differs from P. mediamericanum in the on-average lower shell with a wider umbilicus and fewer whorls. It differs from P. comicolense in the smaller (diameter of the first two whorls: 0.75–0.90 mm; in P. comicolense : 0.90–1.05 mm), dully shining shell with distinct growth lines and irregular impressions.

No constant differences were found between P. minus Pilsbry, 1920 , the type locality of which is in Florida, and P. macneilli ( Clapp, 1918) described from Alabama. Thus, I agree with Hubricht (1985) that these nominal species are synonyms.

Pupisoma macneilli occurs sympatrically with P. dioscoricola , P. comicolense , and P. mediamericanum .

The specimens recorded as P. minus from St Eustatius by Haas (1960) are P. dioscoricola .

Distribution ( Figure 14 )

The range of P. macneilli extends from the southern USA through the Caribbean and Central America southwards to southern Brazil and northern Argentina. It is most frequent at medium and higher altitudes. Its latitudinal range extends from about 100 to 2600 m altitude.
