small specimen, but Weinkautff’s figure of trgonus Bgreds well with our specimens 
in size, shape and eolour.

Remarks. Shell rather narrow, sides straight, but little convex, shoulder angle 
well defined, body whorl slightly striate throughout, more distinetly at the base; 
unicoloured, tinged at the base with violet in typieal species. The genus is intro. 
duced for the species allied to the virgo, flawidus, Wvidus series. Swainson, 1840, 
placed the type species under the typical g genus Conus, Mérch, 1853, placed it under 
Lithoconus here regarded as a synonym of Conus, Inthe present genus the colour 
pattern is entirely different from the tessellated pattern of Conus.
