Distribution

A very pretty specimen from Poivre Island is somewhat differently painted, the spots upon the while zones being curved or almost arrowhead-shaped, and in four series upon the body-whorl; two of these, namely one a little below the suture and the other just beneath the middle, are less distinct than the others, which fall above and below the lower more indistinct one. The outer lip has a fourth red spot at the upper extremity, and the anterior end of the columella is tinged with the same colour.
Poivre Island, Amirantes, in 20 fms.; Mauritius (Nevill).
