Original Description of Pelicaria clathrata by Tate, 1889, p. 170:
- "Shell ovate, spire acuminated, whorls six convex, suture linear or slightly impressed. Surface ornamented with numerous lamelliform rugae, becoming confluent by twos and threes or more at the anterior-third to form ridges, and by spiral threads abont ten in number. Last whorl quadrate, depressed in the medial part, with a row of small acute nodulations at the shoulder, and a thickened ridge at the periphery; ornamented with sigmoidal lamelliform rugae and lines of growth which are cancellated by numerous longitudinal ridges. Callus-enamel spreading over the columella and body-whorl for two-thirds of its length and over-lapping on the penultimate whorl."
Locus typicus: "Bairnsdale, Gippsland (W.H. Gregson!)"
