Umbilicus contracted, crenulations white, very strong whorls 

 spirally sulcate and, in the spire, granose ; color yellowish cream 

 with interrupted bands of chestnut-red below the suture, at the 

 periphery and above and below the middle of the whorl ; base 

 many-ribbed and crenated, ribs specked with yellowish brown. 



Diam. 1-2 inches.

 crenulations ; whorls spirally unisulcate or bisulcate near the 

 suture, ribbed at the periphery, spirally sulcate and ribbed 

 above and below the periphery and near the umbilicus, ribs 

 finely crenulated, entire surface of the shell covered with close, 

 obliquely radiating growth-lines ; color pinkish-flesh with inter-

Australia. 



Easily distinguished by the fine crenulations of the narrow 

 umbilicus, the very conoid shape and the fine sculpture. Reeve
