I do not know upon what grounds Pfeiffer unites this with B. 

 pintadinnn Orb., for it seems to be an entirely different species ; the 

 figure 26~>c of Reeve's plate, however, offers some approach to pinta- 

 dinus (see pi. 36, figs. 84, 85).

Shell imperforate, fusiform-ovate, rather solid, lightly striate, not 

 shining. Painted with bands of yellowish-white, tessellated with 

 reddish, and wider bands of greenish-brown streaked with whitish.

 convex, the last whorl three-fifths the shell's length, more convex, at- 

 tenuated at base. Columella lightly arcuate, white. Aperture 

 oblique, oblong-oval, pearly within ; peristome red, thickened, nar- 

 rowly reflexed, the ends connected by a deep violet callus. Alt. 65,
