The 50.7 mm long spécimen, which has been figured in the Encycl. Méth., has 

 been selected as the lectotype of M. granatina. In the Encycl. Méth., figures, the 

 whorls appear too inflated, and the columella has been drawn with 8 folds. The 

 lectotype is an immature spécimen with 8 whôrls and a missing protoconch; the 

 colour of the shell is white, with two broad, somewhat interrupted brown bands on 

 the body whorl, the specimert is prominently spirally corded, and each cord is 

 ornamented with short brown spiral lines. Spiral cords are bisected by longitudinal 

 grooves. The labial lip is not fully formed, crimped at the edge and the aperture is 

 smooth within; the columella has 5 folds. 



The fourth spécimen présent in Lamarck's collection, No. 1102/51/4: 24. 0x 

 8.3 X 13.8 mm, is not Mitra granatina, but is the species later described as M. nitens 

 Kiener, 1838 (non Risso, 1826) [=M.annulata Reeve, 1844]. This spécimen is in 

 fact the holotype of Kiener's M. nitens. 



Lamarck's species is the Concilia granatina auctt.; The species distributional 

 range is from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands.
