This species is scarcely distinguishable from C. spectrum. C. 

 Verreauxii, Kiener (fig. 54), C. stillatus, Reeve (fig. 55), and 

 possibly G. inflatus, Sowb. (PL 27, fig. 7), are synon3'ms. The 

 latter does not much resemble this species, and remains uniden- 

 tified, but Sowerby has himself suggested its place here.
