Distribution: Texas; North Carolina to Florida to Brazil. Size: 3 to 10 mm
Description: Color of base whitish with irregular axial mottlings of brown, protoconch darker brown, base of shell brown; shape fusiform; sculpture of spiral beads with axial riblets connecting spiral beads; early whorls with 2 rows, latter whorls with 3 rows of spiral beads, central row of beads smaller; protoconch with first nuclear whorl smooth, following nuclear whorls with axial ribs crossed by 2 spiral ridges; aperture subcircular with a small, strong parietal shield and abrupt siphon.
Habitat: Found in calcareous sediments from shoreline to a depth of about 90 m (295 ft). Remarks: Similar to Nototriphora decorata (C. B. Adams, 1850) but not as slender and with coarser sculpture. See Ode (1989b); Redfern (2001). Synonym: Triphora ornata Deshayes, 1832.
