Testa elongate subulata, turrita, grisea, fulvo fasciata : an- 

 franctibus sulco impresso divisis, longitrorsum valde plicatis ; 

 apertura elongate ovali ; columella subrecta. 



A fine characteristic species distinguished by its numerous 

 sharp folds, and varied markings : the upper area of the 

 divided whorl is more contracted than the inferior, and 

 thus on a lower plane ; the suture is bordered by clear 

 milk-white, and the centre of the whorl is broadly banded 

 of a dark chesnut colour ; aperture more elongated than is 

 usual ; columella somewhat straight.

Shell very lengthened, subulate, turrited, polished ; 

 whorls divided by a groove which is scarcely conspicuous 

 except on the upper whorls, adorned with two series of 

 dark red spots of a square shape, a third appearing on the 

 last whorl ; from the flattening of the last whorl the aper- 

 ture is somewhat square ; columella twisted acute. At 

 plate xlii. fig. 38, a constant variety is represented of 

 a paler colour, and with the spots smaller, at greater distances, 

 and of a fawn colour.
