Original description : —Shell allied to U. pachysoma, Bens,, aud 

 to some of the varieties of U. ccerulens, Lea. It is easily distin- 

 guished from U. honneaudi by its more irregular shape, thinner 

 texture, by the acute angulation, greater production posteriorly, 

 and by the more developed sculpture ; a constant character also "is 

 the pink colour of the nacre, which in U. honneaudi is bluish 

 white, this is equally distinct and characteristic in young as in old 

 specimens.
