Only 3 dead specimens were dredged. Apparented to Murex kiiensis Kira, 1969,

known from Japan to the Philippines, it differs mainly by its different proto-

coneh. This shell was also illustrated by D'Attilio (1981: figs. 1,2,3). Ponder

and Vokes are preparing a monograph of the Murex s.s. in which this

form will be named.

authors incorrectly synonymised Murex 2'iekelii Tapparone-Canefri, 1875, a

(Fig. 1)

Material: Reves 2, St.11, 05U05'S, 55053'E, 55 m, 1spm.

The type loeality of this recently named speeies is the Laccadives Islands

(approximately 11030'N, 73000'E). The present locality is not unexpeeted,

although P. albobrunnetts has never before been recorded from the Seychelles.

This species is distributed in the Western Indian Ocean: North Mozambique

[Vokes, 1978: 397, pl. 6, fig. 3 as Pterynotus (P.) sp. cf. pell・ucidus (Reeve)] the Seyehelles, the Laceadives (type locality) and eoast of Oman (Besch and Bosch, 1982: 89).

St. 238, Grand R6cif, outer reef slope, Ankaradanva region, 12m, 1 sh.

This is a range extension for this recently deseribed species, only known till

now from the Palau Islands, Western Caroline Islands and Western Australia

(type loeality). Radwin and D'Attilio (1976: 224) gave a maximum length of

14 mm. The speeimen from St. FA39 measures 17 × 7.1 mm.

Aspella vekesiana HouaTt, 1983

(Fig. 4)

Material: Tulear, Grand R6eif, outer reef slope, 36 m, 1spm (holotype).

This recently named speeies differs from all other members of Aspelea, mainly

by its different intritaealx and appressed suture.

No Der7zaomurex s.s. has ever been reported from the West Indian Ocean and the shell seems different from other related species. As there is a single juvenile specimen, only illustration of this specimen is shown here at this time.

After reading the original deseriptions and examination of photograph of both

types, I consider here P. gztamensis Emerson and D'Attilio, 1979 as a possible

junior synonym of F'avaTtia erouehi (Sowerby, 1894). One cannot be absolutely

sure of this synonymy until specimens of both species could be seriously eom-

pared; F. c・reTtchi is a slighUy larger shell and study of its protoconch would be necessary. Unfortunately none was preserved. Originally described from

Mauritius, F. cTo・uchi has a wide Indo-Pacific distribution: it is also known from

Guam (type loeality of F. gi.tamensis) and Tahiti (Anonymous, 1979: 6, erTone-

ously illustrated as Fainrtin ?peasei).

55ell'E, 165-195 m, 1 sh.

AIthough IFT. gaTTettii was originally described from Hawaii, I could not separate

the Indian Ocean shells from typical Hawaiian specimens; this means a eonsid-

erable range extension. Another related species which eould be the same is Favartia・ nata・tensis (Smith, 1906) but this needs further studies,

?PygmaepteTys f・u.nafutiensis (Hedley, 1899) (Figs. 2, 2A) Material: Tu16ar, St.156, Grand Recif, outer reef slope, Northern transect, 5m, 1sh; "Grande St. 220, Ifaty reef, Passe", 22 m, 1sh; St. 240, Grand Recif,

outer slope, Northern transect, 36 m, 1 sh. Originally described as a M2LTex, this species was assigned to the subgenus Pa2inot'ecs Vokes, 1970 (Muricinae) by E.H. Vokes (1971: 51) and by Fair (1976: 44) Radwin ; and D'Attilio (1976: 148) ineluded it in the genus I7'avart・ia (Murieopsinae). The subgenus Pyg7naepterys was created by Vokes (1978: 398) species (Type by O.D.: Murex alfredensis Bartsch, 1915) and was origi- nally considered to be a subgenus of Pterynotus Swainson, 1833 (Murieinae). Vokes and D'Attilio (1980) in their description ef some very similar speeies from the Western Atlantic, proved, by studying the shell and radular charae- ters of one speeies, ?P. geTmainae, that placement in the subfamily Muricopsinae was indieated. However, some minor differences in the shell structure exist between 2 "groups" formed, on one hand by P. alfTedensis (Bartsch, 1915), P. maraisi Vokes, 1978 and I'. pratulum Vokes and D'Attilio, 1980 (fossil) and on the other hand, by ?P. funafutiensis (Hedley, 1899), ?P. ger"zainae Vokes and D'Attilio, 1980, and ?P. drezi Vokes and D'Attilio, 1980 (fossil). Until soft of P', parts atfredensis (type-species) ean be studied, we cannot be absolutely certain of the placement of this genus in the Muricopsinae. If it is that P. alfredensi.s proved is murieinae, then another genus must be erected for the three species for which the species is preceded by a query, including M2tre:: funaftttiensis.
