1931
Iredale, 1931, p. 212:
- "Canarium otiolum (Pl. xxiii, fig. 6) is small, spire exsert, varicose, outer lip a little expanded, sinuate. Colour of dead shell cream, variously banded with pale brown. Six adult whorls succeed a smooth, bulbous, mucronately tipped protoconch; the adult whorls are regularly four-varicose, the last whorl showing none but the outer lip thickened and a little varicose. Internally this is finely ridged, the inner lip smooth. Fourteen longitudinals appear on the shoulder of the last whorl but soon become obsolete on the body; a small sutural roll succeeds, the sutures followed by concentric ridges which are undefined on the face of the body whorl but become more pronounced towards the base. On the penultimate whorl two or three longitudinals appear irregularly between each varix, the concentric lirae less pronounced and becoming still less as we approach the apex. Length 22 mm., breadth 10 mm."
- "Type from Sydney Harbour, N.S.W."
- "This species belongs to the "floridus" (= flammeum) series but has a more developed spire, more definitely varicose, and is smaller in size."

- "After checking the Bishop Museum collection, I found that they have no Strombus labiatus from Hawaii."

- Comment: At the same locality the Thailand form of Canarium olydium is found. The purple spire is typical for that form. As conclusion, it might be that this is a transition form between the two species, maybe a hybrid.
