Shell dextral or sinistral, oblong-turreted, somewhat fusiform, 

 solid, whitish, becoming deep pink aliove, and more or less yellow 

 on th.- latter part of the last whorl, with three narrow brownish 

 Idack bands in the typical po*iiioiis, sometimes with a light chestnut 

 band bordering the suture below and a chestnut patch around the 

 culnmella. Smooth and glossy, whorls 8, moderately convex. 

 Aperture obliipie, pink within ; outer lip acute and simple ; col- 

 uniella and parietal wall rose-colored, the former destroyed by crabs 

 in the specimen* known, but said by 1'oey to be truncated.

Similar to L. vir</!nt'iis, and unlike all other Cuban I.IIJHUS, in the

 from \\hich .-pecio it di tiers id, icily in ilisti-ilmtinii. The tapering 

 base of the hi*l \\horl, however, is not quite like riri/iiinia.
