Habitat : Philippine Isles ; Ticao, Sarangani, Zamboanga and 

 Surigao in Mindanao (Hidalgo). 



A compact and pretty species of a very uniform and decided 

 pattern. It is not prone to vary. It never attains as large a size as 

 costata, ventricosa, or conoidalis, and is remarkable for irregular square 

 transverse blotches of Indian red, disposed on the centre of the body- 

 whorl, and also towards the sutures, and the interrupted thin clearly- 

 marked transverse lines on the ribs. It is uniformly polished, and 

 inclined to be incrassate. I have already alluded to the identification 

 of this by Mr. S. Hanley as the original Biiccinum harpa L.

Habitat : Acapulco, Mexico, Panama, and other stations on Central

The only species of the New World. A link between conoidalis 

 and rosea. From the latter, to which it is most akin, it differs in its 

 livid-grey colour, with spire less produced, and ribs often almost 

 submersed. It is frequently somewhat distorted, when the costas 

 appear flattened and irregular.
