This wentletrap from northern Japan 
may be one of the most difficult 
species to obtain among the family 
Epitoniidae. 
A dead specimen is illustrated in 
SEASHELLS OF THE WORLD IN COLOR, 
Vol. I, by Habe and Ito (Japanese 
text) which, however, does not show 
the true beauty of this shell. 
The illustrated specimen measures 
42mm x 15mm. It was trawled from 
350 meters depth off Choshi, Chiba 
Pref., Japan. 
Collection of, and photograph by, 
Mr. T. Watanabe, Choshi, Japan.
