 ochraceous oi'aiige band on the shoulder ; another specimen is unifoi'in 

 orange, except the varix, which is ferruginous. Whorls seven, including

 smooth, afterwards ornamented by numerous fine arcuate riblets, which 

 end abruptly ; the adult whorls carry from eight to nine prominent spaced 

 ribs ; these are crossed by distant spiral threads, of which there are twenty 

 on the last whorl, and six on the penultimate ; the whole is over-run by 

 fine radial lines of minute grains. Aperture protected by a strong varix, 

 in which a semi-circular sinus is excavated ; on each side of the sinus is a 

 tubercle, and but a single plait on the upper part of the columella.
