I have one, 25 mm, real good condition obtained from Ross Mayhew in 1995;
presumably "90-mile Beach, New Zealand 35 m sand".
It looks like the picture in Powell, who says the correct name is
rollandiana Petit, 1853 because Janthina lutea Bennett, 1840 is indeterminate.
(And I had it under Naticidae. Thanks for waking me up)
