ASTHENOTOMA CICATRIGULA sp. 20U. 
(Plate xlii., fig. 5.) 
Shell lanceolate, rather small and solid. Colour buff, sometimes 
suffused with violet; interior pale purple. Whorls eleven, including a 
mucronate protoconch of two and a half smooth whorls. Sculpture :—On 
the penultimate are five elevated and polished spiral keels, and on the last 
whorl there are seventeen, including five on the snout; except the proto- 
conch and snout the whole shell is over-run by fine close curved radial 
threads, which are interrupted by the spirals. Fasciole well marked, half 
its breadth below the suture; from a median spiral thread the contained 
radials are disposed in cheyron. lip simple, its edge toothed by the 
external keels; notch deeply incised, widely gaping; lower limb more 
horizontal than the upper. Inner lip a thin smear, no tubercle at its 
insertion. On the inside of the lip are six entering raised spiral threads, 
which stop short of the edge. Length 15 mm., breadth 5 mm. 
Hub. Queensland :—4 to 14 fathoms, Albany Passage (type); 10 
fathoms, Mapoon; 15 fathoms, Palm Islands; 5 to 10 fathoms, Hope 
Islands; Barney Point, Port Curtis (self). A specimen in the Macleay

readily distinguished from Asthenotoma subtilinea.
