This genus has been neglected and misunderstood. Here H. 

 Adams referred a new species, Zafra pupoidea, thereby misleading 

 Nevill, Fischer, and Tryon to transfer Zafra to the Pleurotoinidae, 

 with Z. pupoidea for type. But H. Adams emphasised his own 

 error by noting that Seminella of Pease [type, Columbella garretti, 

 Tryon] was equivalent to Zafra. Another name for "the minute 

 ribbed ColumbellidsB occurring in the Indo-Pacific region" is Citha- 

 ropsis Pease, type Columbella lachryma Reeve. (Mitra lachryma 

 Reeve, 1845 = Columbella pamila Chenu, 1848.) 



It was suggested to me, by Mr. Tom Iredale, that Zafra could be 

 suitably employed for certain Australian shells. Accordingly I 

 propose to transfer to it the following species: — 

 Columbella abyssicola Brazier, Col. gowlandi Hrazier, 1874. 



1877. Pyreue jaffaensis Verco, 1910. 



Mangilia atkinsoui Ten. -Woods, Col. legrandi T. -Woods, 1876. 



1876. Pyrene lurida Hedley, 1907. 



Pyreue beachportensis Verco, Col. melvdli Hedley, 1899. 



1910. Col. peasei Mart. A: Langk., 



Columbella darwini A ngas, 1877. 1871. 



Columbella digglesiBr&YAev, 1874. Col. regulus Souverbie, 1863. 

 Pyrene dolicha Verco, 1910. Col. remoensis{j&t.kQ&h.,l§ 1 0. 



Pyreue fenestrata Verco, 1910. Col. russclli Brazier, 1874. 



Columbella franklinensis Gatliff Col. smithi Angas, 1877. 



& Gabriel, 1910. Col. troglodytes Souverbie, 



Columbella fulgida Reeve, 1859. 1866. 



Zafra fulgida Reeve. 



Columbella fulgida Reeve, Conch. Icon, xi., 1859, PL xxviii., fig. 

 178. 



C. interrupta Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1865, p.56, PL ii., fig.9-10. 



Pyrene angasi Verco, Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., xxxiv., 1910, p.137. 



In the British Museum, I found four, labelled, "type, fulgida 

 Reeve, Conch. Ic. xi., sp. 178, Port Lincoln;" also thirteen "Colum- 

 bella minuta Gaskoin, = C. fulgida Reeve, C.I. sp. 179, Adelaide, 

 Australia." Both tablets certainly represent a species universally 

 known in Australia, as Columbella angasi Brazier. The localities 

 of the types of fulgida and interrupta ( = angasi) are but a 

 miles apart. Gaskoin never published C. minuta.
