Joculator semipicta (Gould, 1861). Length, 2.0 mm; diameter, 0,5 mm. Shell: ovate; two spirals of coarse beads on each whorl; yellow spirally banded with brown. Spire: protoconch slender, conical; of about four whorls; teleoconch of six convex whorls; suture in a deep furrow. Sculpture: two spiral rows of coarse beads on each whorl, the apical beads larger and elongated axially, a third row on the base. Aperture: small, lenticular. Color: protoconch white; yellow-white with a broad spiral band of brown on each whorl. These cerithiopsids are uncommon, occasionally found in sediments at depths to 10 m. J. semipicta was described from the "China Seas"; the species is also known from Fiji (as Cerithiopsis balteata Watson, 1880), and from Holocene and Miocene drill holes at Enewetak, Marshall Islands (Ladd, 1972).
