Abstract

Three new species of the genus Jlumlwhltiana are descriljed. The presence of a mantle mottled with dark spots allocates //. paquimei from Chihuahua to the subgenus Gymnopallax. On the other hand, the embryonic whorls, a smooth and granular sculpture distributed over the shell surface, allocate H. xcixarika from Jalisco and U. aurea from Chihuahua to the subgenus Humltoldtiana s.s. The newly described species are distinguished from other species of the genus by the combination of shell and anatomical characters and by their geographic distribution.
