In the absence of spines, avicularia, and ooecia this species 

 resembles Farciminaria hexagona, Busk {1884). That species, how- 

 ever, has six series of zooecia facing around the branch, the two 

 inner rows consisting of sterile zooecia only. There is also consider- 

 able resemblance between it and Farciminaria simphx, MacGillivray 

 (1886). The Australian species has a prominent ooecium, and both 

 description and plate are so meagre that identification h\ their 

 means alone seemed impossible. 



Material obtained at the Andamans (1899).
