Laevistrombus taeniatus

Shell ovate, smooth, with striate base, surrounded by three violet bands.

“This small stromb has the form and the size of Canarium. Only its back is a little more abruptly bulging, and the anterior part is deeply indented.

It differs from the known species by the three transverse bands of violet brown that run over the body whorl and that are divided by a background of a pretty white. The band in the middle is largest, and the posterior one is smallest.”
