Genota vafra: Related both to G. mitriforma, Kien., and G. papalis, Reeve. As compared with these the present shell may be separated by its less produced spire, the conspicuous rows of granules or nodules on the last whorl, and the well-marked double row of nodules on the upper whorls.

Genota vafra: West Africa.
