This species is similar in sculpture to M. scrobiculatus, 
from which it differs considerably in form, the spire being 
long and turreted, and the rostrum elongated and slightly 
recurved. In form the shell is somewhat similar to the 
British Trophon mwricatus, and would have appeared to 
belong rather to the genus Zrophon than to Murex, but 
that it has evident affinity with the four last-named species, 
which appear to belong to the genus or sub-genus Ocinebra, 
or perhaps it may be found, when the animals are known, 
that these five species form a separate group.
