Shell elongate, slender; spire elevated; apex acute; whorls eight or nine, slightly angulated 

 a little posterior to middle, the posterior portion being slightly concave, and the anterior portion 

 slightly convex; ornamentation consists of nine to eleven rounded, spiral ridges, and numerous 

 prominent transverse ridges following the lines of growth, which are convexly angulated on the 

 angle of whorl; the ornamentation is more prominent on the lower portion of the whorls; suture 

 impressed, distinct; aperture elliptical; outer lip thin, arcuate anteriorly; posterior sinus shallow; 

 anterior sinus rather long; inner lip and inner portion of columella incrusted; columella slightly 

 recurved. 



Dimensions.— 'Long. 30 mm.; alt. 9 mm.; body-whorl 17 mm.; aperture, including canal, 

 1 1.5 mm.; defl. 22 degrees. 



Distinguishable from D. penicillnfa by longer canal, angulation of whorls, and 

 greater prominence of ornamentation; distinguishable from JD. cancellata by less 

 deflection and angulation of whorl, except body-whorl, which is more evenly convex 

 than in the latter. 



Rare in lower San Pedro series of Deadman Island, and in the upper San 

 Pedro series of Los Cerritos and San Pedro. The specimen figured is from the 

 upper San Pedro series at San Pedro, and is now in the collection of Delos Arnold. 

 Found in the Pleistocene at Barlow's ranch, and the old irrigating ditch, Ventura; 

 and at Spanish Bight and Pacific Beach, San Diego. 



Liviny. — Santa Barbara to San Diego; Lower California (Cooper). 



Pleistocene. — Santa Barbara (Cooper): San Pedro; San Diego; Ventura 



(Arnold).
