Sorry Paul but I still think palmarosae. It looks too large for microphyllus which also does not have the brown markings around the aperture. Do you equate microphyllus with torrefactus? I suppose it does resemble torrefactus a bit but the spination is wrong. I did think possibly rubiginosus but I compared it with the shells in my collection ( one of my specialities is Murex) and it matches palmarosae better than any of the others.
