Remarks

This species appears to have no major distinctive characters, but the Chinese specimens appear to agree with the original description and published photographs of the holotype, apart from weaker axial ribs and paler colour. Inquisitor nudivaricosus may be distinguished from Funa jeffreysii ( Smith, 1875) in its finer shell sculpture, and may similarly prove to belong to the genus Funa .
