Shell imperforate, obliquely conoid-globose, thin, sub- 

 opaque, or semi-transparent, covered with small inden- 

 tations, clothed with a yellowish olivaceous epidermis, 

 beneath which the surface is whitish, or pale fawn- 

 coloured ; adorned with chocolate-brown bands, that are 

 sometimes confluent, sometimes obsolete ; of these there 

 are usually three on the penult whorl, and four on the

 very slightly banded. Spire strongly wrinkled lengthways, 

 short, conoid, about one-third to one-fourth the height 

 of the body ; suture oblique ; apex blunt. Volutions 

 four to four and a half, moderately convex, rapidly en-

 ture nearly ovate ; very slightly lunate, as high as, or
