  According 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Philippi, 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  commonly 
  mistaken 
  

   for 
  T. 
  inermis. 
  Kiener 
  has 
  figured 
  the 
  Panama 
  shell 
  as 
  T. 
  

   inermis, 
  and 
  a 
  very 
  different 
  species 
  as 
  T. 
  Buschii;

   On 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  solid 
  calcareous 
  operculnm, 
  we 
  have 
  removed 
  

   the 
  species 
  into

  Shell 
  ovate 
  conoid 
  : 
  color 
  various, 
  mostly 
  red 
  or 
  brown, 
  some- 
  

   times 
  uniform, 
  frequently 
  in 
  dark 
  flammules 
  on 
  a 
  light 
  ground^ 
  

   sometimes 
  with 
  spiral 
  darker 
  stripes 
  or 
  series 
  of 
  spots 
  : 
  surface 
  

   covered 
  with 
  strong 
  spiral 
  striae 
  : 
  apex 
  subacute 
  : 
  spire 
  conoid, 
  

   with 
  the 
  outlines 
  moderately 
  curvilinear 
  : 
  whorls 
  five, 
  convex, 
  

   with 
  a 
  distinct 
  suture 
  : 
  aperture 
  broad 
  ovate, 
  subeffuse 
  : 
  labrum 
  

   thin 
  : 
  umbilicus 
  very 
  small.

  .08

  Operculum 
  calcareous, 
  very 
  thick 
  and 
  sohd. 
  But 
  for 
  the 
  

   want 
  of 
  a 
  polished 
  surface, 
  this 
  species 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  referred 
  

   to 
  Phasianella. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  Trochus. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  Littorina
