This small delicate species is the only representative of this genus 

 found in the present material from this particular part of the south- 

 eastern Pacific. It is to be expected that no specimens of the heavy, 

 robust species, Calcarina spengleri (Gmelin), which forms such a 

 prominent constituent of reef and beach sands in the central and 

 western Pacific, would be found in the eastern Pacific, east of 170° 

 W. longitude (Todd, 1960). 



Calcarina hispida was described from the Loo Choo [Ryukyu] Islands 

 and appears to be distributed widely in the central and western Pacific, 

 probably mostly as an inhabitant of the quieter waters inside lagoons. 

 C. mayori, described from Samoa, seems to be indistinguishable and 

 is thus included as a synonym. 



Specimens in the present material are from Aloji Niue, Vavau in 

 the Tonga group, various localities around Fiji, Rongelap in the 

 Marshall Islands, and Guam Anchorage.
