Range: The exact limits of its actual range are still poorly known. Up to now, only eastern Bahamas provide specimens regularly. Habitat: Lives between 5 and 55 m on sandy bottom under stones.

Description: Shell very small, solid, ovate fusiform, with a dull surface, of around 20 mm in length. Protoconch very small, turbinate with two and a half white smooth convex whorls. Spire pointed, moderately high. Teleoconch with five shouldered whorls. Sculpture of 10-12 strong axial ribs, humped and almost forming knobs on the third and fourth whorls, crossed by numerous fine spiral striae throughout. Aperture narrow measuring 0.67 of the total length. Outer lip beveled and strongly thickened outside by a varix, bearing inside a blunt labral denticle at the midpoint. Columella concave with 3-4 equal plaits followed by 1-2 weak lirae. Fasciole indistinct. Siphonal notch deep and narrow. Background colour white overlaid by large brown irregular blotches, sometimes zigzaging or centred into a spiral band on the mid body whorl. Aperture and columella white. Animal: Radula is Y-shaped with cups interlocking.

Comparison: This West Atlantic species is unmistakable, quite different from the other Caribbean Enaeta by its wide almost nodulose shape and by its white and brown colouration.
Regarding the morphology, its closest relative is Enaeta cumingii from the Pacific Coast, though it is easily distinguishable by its large size with a different pattern.
Remarks: Formerly rather rare, it is now obtainable live taken in fair quantity.

Lyria (Enaeta) cylleniformis SowerbyTYPE: The whereabouts of the type specimen described in the Proceedings of the Zoological Journal of London is not known to the authors. TYPE LOCALITY: Subsequently designated by Dall (1907) as Florida Strait, near the Bahama banks. RANGE: Known only from the general area of the type local- ity. HABITAT: Dredged in 10 to 30 fathoms. DIMENSIONS: A rather large adult specimen in Mr. duPont's collection measures 22.0 mm in length. Maximum diameter is 11.0 mm; aperture length is 12.9 mm. SHELL DESCRIPTION: Shell is small. It is solid and ovate-fusiform, with a high, attenuated spire. Protoconch has about two and a half smooth, turbinate whorls. Teleoconch has five axially ribbed whorls, contracted posteriorly. The ribs are narrow and are crossed by rather strong spiral lirae throughout. There are about 12 such ribs on the penultimate whorl of a shell 22 mm in length. Suture is indented. Aper ture is narrow and elliptical; interior is white. Outer lip is inflexed, thickened outside by a broad, obtuse ridge, ob- soletely dentated within. It has a low, blunt tooth about midpoint. Siphonal notch is narrow, deep, and recurved; fasciole indistinct. Columella is concave, with three or four some- what weak anterior plaits, followed by one or two lirae that terminate about midpoint. Base color is white with scattered yellow and orange spots. ANIMAL AND RADULA: Not available for study. REMARKS: The rather rare Enaeta cylleniformis is similar in outline to Enacta cumingii (Broderip, 1832), but differs from it by the spiral lirae that cover the entire surface of the shell and by the serrations inside the outer lip. Furthermore, the nodules on cumingi are replaced on cylleniformis by more numerous, narrow axial ribs.
