This species varies widely. It attains to twice the size of 

 the specimens figured in Conch. Icon. The ribs are sometimes 

 large and prominent, passing into the sutures, which are deeply 

 furrowed. The aperture is colored dark purple, violet, or fades 

 into pink. A variety occurs at Tahiti, of a globose form, small 

 in size.
