Species o/"Conidse and Terebridse. 229 



Robert M' Andrew, Esq. The slight blackish purple depres- 

 sion, a little below the suture, dividing the longitudinal ribs, 

 forms an obscure nodulous infrasutural belt. The three ex- 

 terior coloured bands, which are interrupted by the whitish 

 ribs, are visible within the aperture in the form of three series 

 of squarish spots. 



Terehra {Myurella) , cognata^ sp. nov. 



Testa subulata, dilute fuscescens ; anfr. 12, primi 2 Iteves, convexi, 

 lilacei, cseteri planiusculi, costis longitudinalibus rcctiusculis (in 

 anfr. ultimo circa 12 basi productis) instruct!, et superne sulco 

 parvo spirali inter costas prsecipue conspicuo insculpti, lirisque 

 transversis supra costas subobscuris cincti ; anfr. ultimus quadra- 

 tus, ad peripheriam zona angusta albida inconspicua ornatus ; 

 canalis brevis, aliquanto recurvus. 



Long. 14 mill., diam. 3-jL. 



Hah. Persian Gulf {Colonel Pelly). 



Allied io poly gyrata, Desh. ; but the transverse sculpture of 

 the latter is coarser, as is also the infrasutural sulcus or punc- 

 tured line. 



Terehra [Hastula) rufopunctata^ sp. nov. 



Testa subulata, nitens, pallide olivacea, infra suturam zona angusta 

 alba, et infra illam zona secunda livida cincta, et supra zonam 

 albam punctis pluribus, parvis, rufis, notata ; anfractus 12, primi 

 duo laeves, vitrei, convexi, ceetcri plani, costis vel plicis tenuibus 

 numerosis, acutis, versus basim anfractuum evanidis, ornati, 

 sutura obliqua sejuncti ; anfr. ultimus circa peripheriam albo 

 zonatus, et infra illam zona livido-fusca cinctus ; apertura parva ; 

 canalis brevissimus, latus, levissime recurvus ; columella medio 

 leviter arcuata, ad basim carina unica succincta. 



Long. 22 mill., diam. 5. 



Hah. ? 



This species must not be confounded with strigillata, L., 

 to which it has considerable likeness as regards the coloration. 

 It may be at once distinguished by its acute plications, which 

 do not extend to the bottom of the whorls, whilst those in 

 the old species are quite flat and reach from suture to suture ; 

 and the body-whorl of the former is shorter than that of the 

 latter.
