Adams described 'a large white solid species with moderately long beak, and with longitudinal rounded rib-like plicae which are obsolete at the sutures' from Ichaboe Island, north of Luderitzbucht.

Dautzenberg recorded albinus from Mossamedes, 15-20 metres, and Praya Amelia, 15-35 metres, but made no mention of appressus. ? Fasciolaria holcophorus n. sp.
