Mazatlan to Panama. 



There is but little difference between this and the preceding- 

 species : it has a more decided shoulder and the canal is shorter. 

 Should they prove identical, which is probable, the species must 

 be called T. cingvlatus, Lam.

 ribs chestnut-brown ; aperture white within.
