Judging from the above list of references, principally taken 

 from Pfeiffer Brit. Mus. Cat. 1857, this shell has been a severe 

 "bone of contention" amongst the authors who have written 

 about it, but thanks to the able masterhand of the late Dr. 

 Ludovico Pfeiffer this and many other species of shells have 

 been restored to their proper position. In addition to these 

 references I find the following also recorded by Pfeiffer in his 

 work on the Auriculacese of 1876. 



Pythia scerabtzus, Linn., var., in Journal de Conch., Vol. xx., 

 p. 322, \S72=Pythia rictans, Shiim., Ess., p. 229, the habitat of 

 which he gives as Naucouri, PuloPanjang (Ehrdt.) KarNicobar 

 (Kirp.) a large umbilicated species=also Pythia pctireriana, A. 

 Adams et Peeve differt : testa minore et planiore — and with a 

 closed umbilicus.
