Type locality
No type locality given.
Type material
Not located.
Diagnosis
Shell with a colour pattern of irregularly spaced spots, partly forming longitudinal streaks, especially on upper whorls, aperture broadly ovate, peristome thick, typically purple but may be whitish, expanded and reflexed.
Dimensions
Shell height 60.3, diameter 31.7 mm.
Distribution
Colombia (Linares and Vera 2012[5]). Ecuador, Prov. El Oro, near Machala; ibid., Chacras; ibid., Santa Rosa; Prov. Esmeraldas, various localities; Prov. Guayas, 5 km N Santa Elena (Breure and Borrero 2008[4]); Prov. Manabí, Jama (NHMUK 20150529). Peru, Dept. Piura, La Laja (Schileyko 1999[6]); Dept. Tumbes, Lechugal (Sztolcman leg., Pilsbry 1899[7]: 151); ibid., Matapalo (USNM 666039*).
Ecoregion
Western Ecuador moist forests [NT0178], Ecuadorian dry forests [NT0214], Tumbes-Piura dry forests [NT0232], South American Pacific mangroves [NT1405].
Remarks
This is a very characteristic species which can hardly be mistaken. However, the record for Colombia from Linares and Vera (2012)[5], based on unverified material, needs confirmation. The colour pattern may be faded away in living specimens (Fig. 86A–C).
