Cymatosyrinx arbela

The suture is distinct, appressed, with a nodulose band in front of it where the ends of the ribs are cut off by a very narrow fasciolar constriction.

On the body whorl there are six or seven of these lines, with much wider interspaces, followed by three strong cords close-set on the siphonal canal.

The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 13) protractively oblique whitish narrow ribs extending from the fasciole to the cords of the siphonal canal, with subequal interspaces and not continuous up the spire.

The inner lip and the columella shows a thick coat of white enamel, the throat not lirate.

[2] This species occurs in the demersal zone of tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean; the holotype was found off Baja California, Mexico
