Shell subulate, turrited, heavy, polished, adorned with 

 small interrupted irregular strigee of a rufous colour ; whorls 

 divided by a groove not always very conspicuous, encircled by 

 two series of punctated spots ; columella rather produced, 

 particularly in the older individuals, rather straight. PL xlii.

Shell truly subulate, pohshed, of a flesh colour, sometimes

 which are occasionally united or broken in their course ; 

 whorls flattish, duplicate, the superior area less occupied by

 and strait. The character of the ornation is very similar to 

 that in T. strigata.
