Dr. J. E. Gray and Mr. Hutton identify this species with the 

 young of Siphon alia nodosa, Mart. The original description 

 assigns New Zealand as habitat, whence it was brought by a 

 vessel stationed in the South Seas ; a year afterwards the habitat 

 is corrected to Callao, Peru, where it is said to be very common 

 and eaten by the inhabitants.
