This shell agrees very well with the description of Lamarck, except that
the whole edge of the mouth is of a fine rose-red colour.

66. Ranella leucostoma, Lam. Hist. 7 150.
Icon. --
This shell is very like Triton scobinator, Lam.; and the varices, like
it, neither form a complete series, nor are they alternate, so that it
does not agree exactly with the characters of either genus.

Testa turbinata coronata albida zonis duabus fuscis, spira subdepressa

Shell very plain, top-shaped, crowned, and whitish, with two brown bands;
spire rather depressed; crowned, blunt; the epidermis pale

of which is enclosed the canal; axis one and a half, diameter one inch.
