Liguus fasciatus pictus var. dryas Pilsbry 1932
Type locality: No Name Key.
Holotype: ANSP 8019.
Description: Liguus solidus dryas Pilsbry, 1932, Nautilus, 47: 121, pl. 13, figs. 2, 3.
A transcription of the original description follows.
LIGUUS SOLIDUS DRYAS - In revising the names of shells figured in my paper "A Study of the Variation and Zoogeography of Liguus in Florida", 1912, I noticed that L. solidus is represented on plate 37, fig. 1b by a form which would now be considered to differ enough to require a racial or form name. Typical solidus has the apex more white, while in this form, which I call L. s. dryas, these parts are rose colored, as in L. solidus graphicus. Typical L. solidus is not figured in my paper but is defined on page 463. - H. A. PILSBRY.

My take on Pilsbry's type, description and remarks follows.
"LIGUUS SOLIDUS DRYAS - In revising the names of shells figured in my paper "A Study of the Variation and Zoogeography of Liguus in Florida", 1912, I noticed that L. solidus is represented on plate 37, fig. 1b by a form which would now be considered to differ enough to require a racial or form name."
I place dryas as a variety of subspecies pictus. Pilsbry placed it as a racial form in his trinomial.
"Typical solidus has the apex more white, while in this form, which I call L. s. dryas, these parts are rose colored, as in L. solidus graphicus."
The solidus of Say has recently been found to be not directly related to the pictus subspecies. L. f. p. var. dryas is very closely related to the graphicus with which it is found on Little Pine Key. When a shell of dryas is illuminated from within, the graphicus pattern can be seen as a ghostly white image over the entire shell.
The data indicating No Name Key that accompanies C. B. Moore's dryas and solidulus shells is probably in error as dryas was almost certainly limited to Little Pine Key and solidulus was almost certainly limited to Stock Island and Summerland Key. I viewed the shells and there is no doubt about their identity, just the locality data.
