COSTELLARIA. 173 



going description indicates such close affinity with T. Suluensis, 

 however, that I think it would have been more prudent not 

 to separate it. T. fusoo-apicata (fig. 460) and T. Gotoensis, E. A. 

 Smith, (fig. 461), are both synonymous, varying only slightly in 

 sculpture and markig from the type. 



T. CRUENTATA, (Chemn.) Reeve. PI. 51, figs. 462-466, 468, 469; 



PI. 58, fig. 686. 



Chestnut or chocolate-brown, with a superior narrow white 

 band, and occasionally an inferior one. Sometimes lighter 

 colored between the band and the suture. Length, '75-1 inch. 



Indian Ocean, Philippines, Polynesia.. 

 A very variable species, which has received a number of names. 



Var. PROXIMA, Nevill. Figs. 464-466, 468. 



The usual Polynesian form ; when one-banded it has been 

 called var. Sandvichensiu, Nevill. T. exarata, A. Ad. (fig. 465), 

 T. ligata, A. Ad. (fig. 466), and T. vibex, A. Ad. (PL 58, fig. 

 686) are synonyms. I think that T. larva, Lam. (fig. 468) may 

 also be placed here. 



Var. ARMTLLATA, Reeve. Fig. 467. 



A narrow form, with spire drawn out, typically veiy different 

 from cruentata, var. proximo,, but connected with it by Poly- 

 nesian specimens before me. 



T. SCHOMBURGKII, Angas. PI. 51, fig. 470. 



Livid brown, with a broad, pale, suffused band on each whorl, 

 and four narrow, dark-brown lines encircling the. last whorl, one 

 above and three below the band. Length, 10 mill. 



So. Australia. 



I am not acquainted with this species. 



T. BUCCINOIDEA, Sowb. PL 51, fig. 467. 



Yellowish white, with a white central band bordered with 



chestnut on each side. Length, 4 inches. 



Habitat unknown. 



T. RAWSONI, Morch. 



An unfigured species, from the West Indies, is said to resemble 

 T. cruentala.
