Shell elevated, conical, imperforate, pinkish or greyish white with 
crimson apex and numerous close longitudinal dark reddish-brown 
stripes, often cut into tessellations. Whorls of spire with 5 or 6 
eranose lire, 18-14 on the last whorl. Peristome thick, plicate 
within. Columella straight, denticulate, with a strong basal trun- 
cation. Alt. 20, diam. 13mm. 
Hab.—Rangitoto Channel, near Auckland ; scarce (T. F. Cheeseman). 
The species was omitted from the list of New Zealand mollusca by 
Captain Hutton in his revision (Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, 
vol. ix, p. 857, footnote). From his description of Cantharidus rufozona 
there is no doubt that it is not that species, but C. conicus (Gray). — 
Two specimens from Auckland in my collection agree perfectly with 
typical specimens from Tasmania. There are also specimens in the 
Auckland Museum, marked as coming from Auckland. 
It is evident that Adams’ short description of C. rufozona does not 
refer to C. conicus, since he described that species under the name ot 
Thalotia picta (Wood).
