E. Wilford and his associates of the Geological Survey, Malaysia. It dealt with the Streptaxidae. This paper, comprising parts II and III of the sefies, covers two families of Pulmonata as well as the Archeogastropoda. The land snail fauna of Borneo is poorly known, even though more than 350 species have been reported from the island (Martens 1908, Solem 1964). The majority of the species recorded are endemic and have been collected in Sarawak, Brunei, and Sabah, an area comprising about a third of the island. The southern portion, Kalimantan, is virtually unknown malacolog- ically, except for a few species collected randomly at coastal localities by travelers. Many species have been recorded from the island only once, and their original descriptions frequently lack important diagnostic details. Few distributional data have been available, and many species have been reported merely from "Borneo." The collections on which the present studies are based originated from the same places in northern Borneo from which most species have been recorded previously (Fig. 1). These collections are rich in small or minute taxa that usually frequent limestone, and most are abundantly represented (Dance 1970:149-150). Larger species, such as the Cyclophoridae, Camae- nidae, and Bradybaenidae, are poorly represented, and our material of these does not constitute a major addition to the known fauna. Almost all of our material consists of dried shells. No live specimens were preserved for anatomical studies. As was anticipated, our material contains many new taxa. On the other hand many taxa previously recorded from Borneo are missing from our material. From this we estimate that less than 25% of the Bornean fauna is known. Our accounts of particular families list all species recorded from Borneo and satellite islands to facilitate future investigations by other workers. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are grateful to the following people who have helped us in various ways. Dr. Alan Solem (Field Museum of Natural History), Dr. Ronald Janssen (Senckenbergischen Naturfor- schenden Gesellschaft) and Dr. Fred Naggs (British Museum, Natural History) loaned speci- mens essential to this report. Mr. Terrence E. Crowley compared specimens from our material with types in the British Museum (Natural History). Dr. F. E. Loosjes, Wageningen, 1983 THOMPSON AND DANCE: BORNEAN NON-MARINE MOLLUSKS 103 Netherlands, compared relevant specimens of Clausiliidae. Kurt Auffenberg, Florida State Museum, helped prepare illustrations and performed numerous other minor but essential tasks. The excellent drawings of Boysidia were made by Wendy Zomlefer, Staff Illustrator, Florida State Museum. Micrographs of hydrocenid shells were made by Kurt Au ffenberg with an HITACHI 5-415A scanning electron microscope in the Department of Zoology, University of Florida. II PULMONATA PUPILLIDAE The classification used in this paper follows Pilsbry (1927:vii-xii) and Baker (in Pilsbry 1935:191-209). Thiele (1931:503-514) disregarded name priorities and used VERTIGINIDAE Stimpson 1851 to replace PUPILLI- DAE Turton 1831. Zilch (1959:146-174), who rearranged the pupillid gen- era among five families on the basis of shell characteristics, employed a different nomenclature for family and subfamily units. NESOPUPINAE STEENBERG 1925 Pupisoma orcula (BENSON) This widely distributed species has not been reported from Borneo previously. It was found at the following stations.
