 Shell obloug-ovate, of a whitish colour, greatly covered with small, 

 irregular, dark brown, conjoined specklings, of unequal intensity in 

 coloration, the larger and darker markings being at the edges of the 

 whorls ; three rather narrow interrupted bands traverse the last whorl, 

 the posterior one proceeding along the anterior margin of the volu- 

 tions ; spire acuminated, being rather the greater half-length of the 

 shell ; volutions eight, slightly gibbous, the four apicine white ; aper- 

 ture rather broad, internally of a bright pinkish blue-white colour, 

 slightly iridescent ; outer lip a little curved, converging at the chan- 

 nel ; within are seven or eight irregular, slight elevations or denticu- 

 lations, rather distant, at the anterior portion of the edge are several 

 fine denticulations ; inner lip smooth, with a very slight thin varix at 

 the anterior part ; an obtuse angularity forms the commencement of 

 the channel ; chaimel rather wide, short, and a series of rather fine 

 parallel striae traverse the anterior part of the last whorl ; peritreme 

 angular posteriorly.
