S. turrita, Nyst is a synonym; S. nuda, Sowb. (figs. 4, 6),

Southern Atlantic Coast of the United States. 

 Reeve's figure represents a specimen in which the lamellse are 

 unusually developed, whilst the normal denuded state is 

 described as a new species, S. unicostata, Sowerby (fig. 9), and 

 changed by Canefri to S. Fisclieriana on account of 8. uncinaticosta, 

 d'Orb, mistaken by him for unicostata. 



S. ERRONEA, Canefri. PL 16, fig. 7. 



Attenuated, smooth, whitish, with fulvous apex, whorls 8, convex, 

 with rare varices. Length, 18 mill.
