T, Sturanyi of Brancsik is larger than this species, some- 

 what different in general form, and appears to have sliglitly 

 flatter whorls.

Like C. circumdata, Ferussac, in colour, but not so flat, 

 the body-whorl being higher and more inflated. The spire 

 is more deeply sunken and the punctation of the entire 

 surface is quite different. In C. circumdata the apical 

 whorls are coarsely punctate or granular, as in this species, 

 but the rest of the shell exhibits only lines of growth and 

 microscopic striai across them. The red colour predominates 

 above, the yellow on the under surface.
