DIBAPHUS. Ifi3 



M. EBURNEA, Garrett. 



Closely allied to M. Ancillide!-!, but may be distinguished by 



its ivory-white color, more contracted base, smaller size and 



more robust form. Length, 12 mill. 



Paumotus Isles. 



I do not know this species ; it has not been figured. 



M. BELLULA, A. Adams. PI. 47, lig. 375. 



White, polished, with revolving stria?, upper whoi'ls cancel- 

 lated, a necklace-like row of reddish spots near the sutures. 



Length, '75 inch. 



Isle of Capul, PhiUpinnes ; on the reefs, low water. 



Described from a young and possibly abnormal specimen ; 

 may it not = Ancillidesf 



M. TELUM, Sowb. PI. 47, fig. 376. 



Yellowish l)rown, lower half of body-whorl darker, smooth. 



Length, 1"1 inches. 



Alauritius. 



I have not seen this species. The figure is very like 31. 



muUiplicata (Barclayi], which also inhabits Mauritius, but the 



columella does not show so many plications. 



M. iNFECTA, Reeve. PI. 47, figs. 377-380. 



Yellowish, marbled with chestnut-brown, sometimes forming 



two interrupted bands ; revolving striae inconspicuous or distinct. 



Length, l-25-l*5 inches. 



Mauritius. Paumotus. 



Sowerby says that Reeve's figure is erroneous, as it does not 



show the revolving striae, and he gives another figure (fig. 378), 



which differs somewhat in form and coloring. Reeve's figure is 



probably from a worn specimen — Dohrn saj^s, from the original 



specimen of 31. nebidosa, Swains. ; but 7iebulosa, as first figured 



by Reeve, is a very different species and = 31. versicolor^ 



Martyn. No doubt 31. Barclayi^ Haule^', not H. Adams, (figs. 



379-380), is a synonym. 



Genus DIBAPHUS, Philippi. 



Differs from 3Iitroidea in the columella being without plaits. 

 It resembles in general form Conus mitratus, as well as, more 

 distantlj^ Strombus terebellatus, and Adams, Crosse, and others
