RE: Identification
I figured this was an Engina (family Buccinidae), but finding a match for it proved to be quite a challenge. I compared it all the Engina species I am familiar with, but no luck. I finally stumbled onto a couple of images that may be a possible match. Engina albocincta Pease 1860 is as close a match as I could find. I'm still not 100% certain, but it's the closest I could find. Your specimen certainly has the characteristic that gives this species its name. "albocinta" means "white-banded" or "white-belted".
