Oliva tremulina f. oldi

Original description(s):

"This is a distinctive and constantly marked shell, characteristically grayish in overall appearance, though background color is creamy yellow. Longitudinal charcoal zigzag lines usually crossed by two solid or broken dark transverse bands. Somewhat similar in pattern and markings to O. textilina Lamarck, 1810, but longitudinal lines are not so closely spaced as in that species. No matching color form in the species O. miniacea have been observed. Base of columella adorned with orange, above which is a heavy dark brown fasciole. Length 50-56 mm.". Recent. Bougainville Island, Solomon Islands.
