Sinus deep, narrow, on a spiral rib immediately above the peripheral carina. <b>Habitat</b> Sandy mud sediment, at the depth of 61–87 m.. <b>Range</b> Guangdong, Beibu Gulf, Hainan, Japan, Philippines. <b>Remarks</b> Before Vera­Pelez J.L., et al (2000) clearly distinguished the two species, they were often confused. In some previously published papers, the two species were confused as same species (Powell, 1966; Springsteen F. J. &amp; F. M. Leobrera, 1986; Okutani, 2000). In China, Tsi Chung­yen et al (1983 &amp; 2004) reported this species as <i>Turris crispa</i> (Larmarck).
