A beautiful species, by the description and figure allied to 
PD. varicosa Sow. from the same region. ‘There are, however, no 
signs of varices. ‘The shell is pure delicate white, with seven or 
eight whorls, of which three are apical and vitreous brown, the 
remainder finely decussate ; where the spiral lines cross the 
oblique riblets a gemmuliferous appearance is presented. The 
whorls are squarely ventricose, impressed at the sutures. The 
coloration consists in orange-brown lines, different in number 
in every specimen. Some specimens are almost plain, others 
have a row of square brown spots just below the suture on the 
last whorl. ‘The mouth is oblong, outer lip incrassate, sutur- 
ally expanded, finely denticulate within, and the sinus is broad, 
but not deep. ‘This species seems to approach the border land 
between Daphnella and Clathurella. Seven or eight specimens. 
(Geo7réowos, divine, is aptly applied to this exquisite form).
