Lister Conch. Tab. 840. Fig. 68. 
Specimen white, with large bright yellowish red 
spots. This second variety differs in many respects 
materially from the first. It is always much

in length ; the denticulate margin of the whorls is 
not compressed towards the suture ; the transverse 
triple row of impressed points is more distinct, and 
the holes are deeper on the body than on the 
superior part of the spire ; the red spots are much 
larger in proportion to the shell, and paler. The 
outer lip is not denticulate. 
Inhabits the Indian Ocean.
