Plate 4, fig. 3, 3a, 36.
Shell of medium size, fusiform, externally light brown, inter-
nally bluish-white. Nuclear whorls decollated. Post-nuclear whorls
marked by a strongly tuberculated median ridge between the sutures.
Tubercles, 11 on each whorl, narrow and elongated, having their
long axis parallel with the spiral sculpture. The space between the
tuberculated ridge and the summit is concave and is marked by
many slender raised threads, while that between the insertion of the
columella and the tuberculated ridge is marked by about 10
depressed, unequally broad, spiral bands, which, like the spaces
between them, are very finely, spirally lirate; rostrum spirally lirate.
The axial sculpture consists of rather coarse incremental lines.
Aperture spoon-shaped; posterior angle acute; columella triplicate;
anterior fold very strong and acute; spiral cord on the parietal wall
slender.
The type, Cat. No. 187026, U.S.N.M., comes from Port Alfred
(Coll. No. 562). It has lost the early whorls, the 5J remaining measure:
Length, 133 mm.; diameter, 55 mm.
