Testa subulata, subturrita, crassiuscula, albida, strigis 

 longitudinalibus atro-fuscis irregulariter ornata ; anfractibus 

 subplanulatis, versus medium sulco impresso divisis ; colu- 

 mella nuda, contorta. 



This fine species has a subulate acuminate shell, massive, 

 the whorls flattish, duplicate or divided by an impressed line, 

 the superior whorls, as occurs in nearly every species of 

 Terebra, longitudinally plicate, elegantly ornamented with 

 longitudinal strigae, some of which are occasionally bifid, 

 others only occupying hah the diameter of the whorl, 

 generally, however, they are simple and continuous throughout 

 this space ; aperture somewhat square ; columella naked 

 and twisted. 



West Coast of America between Panama and Realejo, 

 at the former of which places it is particularly abundant. 

 The Indian locality assigned to it in Wood's Index is un- 

 doubtedly incorrect.

Testa elongate subulata, turrita, albida, strigis longitudi-

 breviter canaliculata. 



Shell subulate, turri ted, white, with longitudinal interrujDted

 columella naked. Indian Seas: Kiener.
