C. interrupta is closely allied to C. rugifera Reeve, but its shell is more inflated and 

 the decussate sculpture is less strongly developed.

In the "Siboga" collection there is a single shell of the species collected at Banda

I am not quite certain whether Reeve's Luci^ia fabula is rightly assigned to the genus 

 Myrtea. This species agrées in gênerai with the description of the genus, but the hinge is 

 slightly différent, and it may later hâve to be separated from the genus Myrtea. 



The génotype is Myrtea spinifera (Montagu).
