Distribution: Texas; West Indies to Brazil. Size: 6 mm
Description: Color uniform light reddish-tan; shell fusiform, barrel shaped; sculpture of beaded spiral ribs; postnuclear whorl with 2 rows of spiral, beaded ribs, remaining whorls comprised of 3 rows of spirally beaded ribs; beads connected axially and spirally by short, rounded riblets that create squarish pits; suture well excavated; body whorl with a basal cord; protoconch small and polished smooth; aperture subcircular; siphonal canal abrupt. Habitat: Shallow water offshore and occasionally in bays. Depth range 0 to 91 m (300 ft). Remarks: Similar to C. greenii; however, C. gemmulosa is larger and lighter colored, and suture is more pronounced. See Ode (1989c); Barrera (2001).
