Original Description of Strombus crispatus by Sowerby, 1842:
- "T. turrita, fusiformi, concentricè plicatâ, spiralitèr striatâ; aperturâ ovali, posticè in canalem carinatam crispatam desinente, anticè canali brevitèr rostrato; labio externo crasso, crenulato; labio interno crasso; operculo lateralitèr serrato."
- "Rather more ventricose than S. fissurella, with the beak shorter, and the posterior canal resting upon the penultimate whorl only, and coiled at the extremity; the outer edge of the operculum is serrated. Body pale straw colour, with three brown bands across the last whorl."
- Locus typicus: Philippines Islands
