A pretty little Eu-Natica, of a pale ochraceous-brown 

 colour, deeply impressed at the sutures, five-whorled, two 

 being apical ; below the sutures on the last three whorls 

 obliquely wrinkled ; on one specimen two transverse 

 bands of square red spots are seen on the last whorl, and 

 between these two rows, two other rows of very small 

 brown dots. The aperture is lunar, lip smooth, columellar 

 margin without cinereous, thickened, extended into the 

 region of the deep but narrow umbilicus. The operculum 

 is beautifully ribbed. Near N. pulicaris Phil. 



We cannot exactly match this little species, which 

 may not have quite attained its full growth. Three 

 specimens.
