Description
The keel-rib is flattened, bearing a row of equidistant, somewhat quadrangular brown spots. The rest of the surface is very minutely and numerously punctate with brown.
The conspicuous painting on the slit-band, contrasted with the very minute sprinkling of brown dots elsewhere, is the distinguishing characteristic of this species.[https://archive.org/details/manualconch06tryorich G.W.
