There are eight examples of this somewhat widely distributed 

 species. According to Miers it occurs at the Cape of Good Hope, 

 Falkland Islands, and in New Zealand. The Challenger speci- 

 mens were obtained in Port Jackson. It is not recorded in 

 Haswell's Catalogue. The specimens exhibit a slight variation 

 in the number of rostral spines; there are usually seven above 

 and four below; in one example there are as many as seven spines 

 on the lower surface.
