Inhabits the Indian Ocean. Lamarck. 



Shell an inch and a half long, and half as broad, white with 

 yellow, tawny or pitch-coloured bands ; it is nearly allied to 

 V. plicaria, but is marked throughout with transverse wrin- 

 kled striae, is broader in proportion to the length, and more 

 strongly plaited. Lamarck has erroneously quoted Martini, 

 iv. t. 148. f. 1364. as a variety of this species and also of V. 

 Vulpecula.

 gular, with longitudinal knotty ribs, and 

 transversely striated ; pillar three-plaited.
