Remarks

This species resembles Kermia pustulosa (De Folin, 1867) in shell profile and sculpture, but differs from the latter in shell colour. In K. barnardi, the colour alternates brownish purple with distinct white axial nodules where the spiral cords cross the axial ribs, and fifth spiral ribs in body whorl are white; while that of K. pustulosa is uniformly yellowish brown, and at the fourth spiral on the last whorl the colour is white.
