158 CANTHARUS. 



C. D'ORBIGNYI, Payr. PI, 73, figs. 266, 267. 



Yellowish to chocolate, with a median white band ; aperture 

 usually white, sometimes light violet. Length, 15-20 mill. 



Mediterranean ; littoral, upon rocks. 



Var. ASSIMTLTS, Reeve. PI. 73, fig. 267. 



Senegal; Algiers, etc. 

 C. SCABRA, Monts. 



This name is proposed by Monterosato, without description or 

 figure for a shell which he previously designated as C. d'Orbignyi, 

 var. xubspinosa likewise without diagnosis. I do not know the 

 species. 



C. LEUCOZONA, Phil. PI. 74, fig. 270;, PI. 73, fig. 268. 



Purple or chestnut-brown, with a white band on the angle of

Yellowish white, interruptedly marbled with chestnut-brown. 



Length, 8-10 mill. 



Mediterranean, from Sicily to Greece. 



C. HOMOLEUCA, Kuster. PI. 74, fig. 272. 



Dirty white. Length, 12 mill. 



Mediterranean.

 may be the same as C. pictus, or -perhaps C. tfOrbignyi, var. 

 assimilis. 



C. PERLATUS, Kiister. PI. 74, fig. 273. 



Yellowish white, the nodules purple-brown ; with a white band. 



Length, 8 mill. 



Natal Coast, S. Africa. 



Compared by Kiister with G. pictus. It looks as much like a 

 Columbella as a Cantharus. 



C. LUGUBRIS, C. B. Ad. 



Long ovate-fusiform ; very dark brown, with a cinereous tinge ; 

 with small ribs, from nine to thirteen on each whorl, traversed
