Paramontana rufozonata, common name red-zoned turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.
[4] But P. rufozonata is only two-thirds the height of P. tincta, is of a more slender build, and lacks the peculiar excavate base of that tropical species.
The latter feature is shown in Reeve's figure, and is mentioned by Hervier [5] as the " depression circulaire autour de son canal basal."
The records by Melvill and Standen [6] and by Bouge and Dautzenberg [7] of P. rufozonata, from the Loyalty Islands, are doubtless due to the confusion between this and P. tincta.
P. rufozonata is indeed more nearly related to P. albifuniculata Reeve, but is smaller, more fusiform, and has the radials more prominent owing to the spirals being slighter.
