138 CANTHARIDU3. 



This species is similar to T. inodon, T. virgulatus, T. Isetus and T. 

 minor, but moi'e broadly conical, more distinctly angled at the 

 periphery, the spire more depressed in proportion to the aperture, 

 and finally the coloration is very diverse. Upon a yellowish or 

 dirty flesh-colored ground there are first, upon the upper half of the 

 whorl, two broad whitish bands, separated by a narrow space, and 

 interrupted by narrow brownish-red streaks ; then two narrow white- 

 and-purple spotted bands, of which the lower one is visible only 

 upon the last whorl ; finally, there are on the ]>ase several narrow 

 white-and-brown spotted concentric lines.

Shell obliquely pyramidal, imperforate, yellowish-green ; base 

 .slightly convex ; whorls transversely sulcate-striate, marginate ; 

 suture profound ; aperture subquadi-angular, lip smooth within. 

 (Phil.) 



The shell is exactly conical, the whorls entirely flat, the angle of 

 the last rounded. Besides the feeble transverse lirse mentioned in 

 the text, each whorl has 5 elevated transverse lines ; the l)ase has 

 numerous ones, mostly punctate, the color is generally green, un- 

 spotted. The aperture exhibits nothing notable ; the columella is 

 pretty vertical.
