CORALLIOPHILA ERYTHROSTOMA. (Plate XXIII. fig. 7.) 



Testa hrevis, alba, brevissime fusiforme ; anfractus 6, tabulati, in 

 medio angulati, costis 8-9 paulo obliquis et liris sjnralibus pul- 

 cherrime squamulatis {in anfr. superioi'ibus ad 6, in ultimo 

 circa 15) instructi ; anfr. ultimus inferne ungustatus, rimam 

 angustain umbilicalem exhibens ; apertura pyriformis, longe 

 intus 1-ufescens ; labrum album, iittus sulcatum; columella 

 superne parum arcuata, infra medium obliqua ; canalis medio- 

 cris, paulo recurvus. Operculum ignotum. 

 Longit. 22 millim. ; diam.max. 15, min. 12. Apertura 14 longa, 



6 lata. 

 This species is chiefly distinguished by its short broad-shouldered 

 form, and the reddish interior of the mouth. The liration upon 

 the costae at the angle is rather acutely produced, giving it a pretty 

 festooned appearance.

 6,convexi, costis obliquis circiter 11, plervmque parum elevatis,

This species is chiefly distinguished by the roundness of the 

 whorls and the slight development of the costse ; in some specimens 

 they are all but obsolete. 



CORALLIOPHILA BRACTEATA (BrOCChi). 



Hab. Mediterranean. 



The two little specimens from St. Helena of this variable species 

 belong to var. 4 as described by Mouterosata (vide ' Nuova revista 

 Conch. Medit.' 1875, p. 40, as Pseudomurex). Murex gravesii, 

 Broderip (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1836, p. 44), as pointed out by Tryon, 

 is another synonym of this variety.
