 Papua.

This genus is readily distinguishable from Lienardia by the apex. 

 The protoconch consists of a cone of thiee and a half smooth rounded 

 whorls. Tlie succeeding adult whorls not only differ in sculpture, but 

 are wound in so diveigent a spiral and increase at so disproportionate a 

 rate as to pi-oject that piotoconch in a niucronate point. In the colour of 

 tlie type the contrast is even more violent, as there the brilliant snow- 

 white apex against the deep rose-red is visible to the naked eye. Another 

 generic feature is an opaque peripheral zone. The deep-seated columella 

 folds, so conspicuous in Lienardia, are here less developed. The species 

 are small and usually brightly coloured. They frequent the up[ier zone 

 of coral reefs.
