Even this polished species will show traces of granulation between the ribs in 
some specimens. Lamarck’s synonyms include the auriculate form, but in his 
diagnosis he mentions that his shell is not auriculate. :

Locality unknown. 
After a careful examination of the description of this unfigured species, I am 
inclined to believe it based on an abnormal specimen.

This name is based on the animal of an Argonaut taken without the shell and 
fully figured in the report.

The only description of this alleged species is comprised in the five words 
* animal and shell thick, red," in Gray's catalogue.

The description of this small and unfigured shell reads as if it might relate to a 
variety or mutation of 4. dispar Conrad.
