„Shell small, conical-fusiform, spire well raised, fairly solid. Colour (dead) whitish-brown, 
with a white protoconch. Whorls 6, turreted, regularly increasing. Protoconch large, white, the 
first whorl and a half smooth, then closely-set longitudinal riblets are seen, and the whorls become 
carinate. The remaining whorls are acutely carinate, with an area below the suture, either smooth 
or with arcuate striae; below the carina appear numerous longitudinal riblets, decussated by spiral 
carinations, giving the shell a somewhat prickly or nodulous appearance, The mouth is small, with 
a wellmarked sinuation above; columella vertical, a little twisted at the base.

Testa elongate fusiformis, pallide fuseo-albida, spira produeta. Anfractus 6 angulati, convexi, 
embryonales 2 magni, vitracei, bulbosi, vix subtilissime spiraliter striolati; normales 4 tonvexi, carina 
peripherica acuta, in anfractibus inferis subduplice, in anfractu ultimo carina altera ex insertione 
exeunte, et 2—3 inferis minoribus sculpta. Apertura extus valde angulata, canali producto leviter

Shell elongate fusiform, pale brownish white (dead), spire well produced). Whorls 5, angu- 
ated and convex. Protoconch of two whorls, large, glossy, and bulbous, smooth save for indistinet 
traces of microscopie spirals.. The remaining whorls are strongly angulated and carinated at the 
periphery, this carina appears on the later whorls as if duplex; below this carina is a second, 
smaller one, and two more are obscurely indicated below. The mouth is strongly angled, and the 
canal is spout-like and slightly twisted.

„Akin to the well known $. modiola, but slightly broader in proportion to the length. 
Further, the present shell may be distinguished by the additional spirals below the carina, which 
are not present in $. modiola, Jan; the canal is also more produced in $. elytotropis.
