The subspecies Alanbeuella corrugata lineataNowell-Usticke, 1959 has become a synonym of Bursa granularis(Röding, 1798), itself a synonym of Dulcerana granularis (Röding, 1798)

Distribution

Description

The maximum recorded shell length is 75 mm. [2]

(Described as Ranella pustulosaReeve, 1844) The shell is ovate, somewhat depressed, and ponderous, with a chestnut color. The whorls are encircled by two or three rows of large, livid chestnut-colored pimples. The varices are granulously ridged. The columella is granulously wrinkled, with white wrinkles.
