Pleistocene of California from Santa Barbara to Todos Santos Bay ; living 

 from Santa Cruz, California, to Cape St. Lucas and perhaps to Mazatlan, 

 Mexico. 



This fine and well-known shell is one of the most characteristic Californian 

 species. T. (P.) inezana Conrad, 1857, from the Miocene of the Santa Ynez 

 Mountains, California, is the only other species known as fossil in the United 

 States.
