Long. 25. Diam. 4 mill. 



Hah. Insl. Oahu. 



Shell elongate turrited, slender ; whorls 15, encircled round 

 the upper part by a conspicuous nodose rib, which is bordered 

 on either side by a groove, whorls between, concave, finely

 whorls pale straw color. 



Closely allied to T. nebidosa, Lorois, Jour, de Con. 1858, p.

T. SUFFUSA, Pease. 



T. subulata, pallide carneo suffusa ; anfractibus, fere planis, 

 subconvexiusculis, transversim obsolete tenuiter striata, sulco

Shell acicular, slender; whorls longitudinally strongly pli- 

 cately-ribbed, interstices deeply grooved, except a short space 

 beneath the suture, which is smooth ; aperture narrow, obloncr,
