" This handsome species agrees well with B. melastomus Swains., 

 in the structure of the aperture, the general contour, and partially in 

 the coloring, and might at first sight be taken for a small, yellow- 

 mouthed variety of that species ; but the absence of sculpture on the 

 upper whorls, the total want of black at the aperture, and the geo- 

 graphic separation, all tell against such a view. B. melastomus with 

 its varieties occurs to my knowledge only in the provinces of Bahia 

 and Illheos." (v. Martens).

 with white and brown on a pale ground, the white blotches somewhat 

 arranged in spiral bands, the brown forming interrupted wide longi-
