T. SOLANDRI, Gray. PI. 22, figs. 15, 16. 



More rounded at the base than the preceding, from which it 

 can be easily distinguished by its minute row of outer teeth, 

 there being an intermediate one between each of those termi- 

 nating the ribs. Length, -55--80 inch. 



Santa Barbara, Gal. Acapulco. 



T. COSTIS-PUNCTATA, Gask. PL 22, figs. 7, 8.
