Lister Conch. Tab. 840. Fig. 68.

 in length ; the denticulate margin of the whorls is 

 not compressed towards the suture ; the transverse 

 triple row of impressed points is more distinct, and 

 the holes are deeper on the body than on the 

 superior part of the spire ; the red spots are much 

 larger in proportion to the shell, and paler. The 

 outer lip is not denticulate.
