1 HERE are about four striae upon the concave space above 

 the angle of each whorl ; the sides of the whorls are slightly 

 convex. On some specimens there are still visible many 

 narrow bands of colour with equal white spaces between 

 them. The length of the spire is variable, and thus this 

 shell approaches to the next species.
