 specimens from the Seychelles, I find no trace of these bands.

I think Reeve goes too far in uniting this species with O. carneola. I have quoted 

 Tryon's figure because he states that fig. 48 of his plate should be referred to the species 

 under consideration; his figure is very rude and to me not recognizable. The specimens from 

 Stat. 3 1 3 are less characteristic, but perfectly agree with specimens from the Andamans.
