6 FULTON : LIST OF SPHOEROSPIRA SECTION OF THERSITES. 



8 — T. roekhamptonensis. Cox. 

 P.Z.S., 1873, p. 150. 

 = moreshiji, Angas : P.Z.S., 1876, p. 267, pi. 20, figs. 8, 9. 

 Loc. — Rockhampton, Port Denison, Queensland. 

 A solid form somewhat similar to raamesleiji var. niazee in coloration but 

 readily distinguished by its //a/ hcise and its thinner and darker coloured 

 peristome. 



Moreahyl was described from an elevated specimen of roc/rhampfommsis. 



T. roekhamptonensis v. pallida, Hedley & Musson. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S ^^'., 1891, p. 556. 

 Loc. — Rockhampton, Queensland. 

 I have not seen this shell, which is described as "bandless, of a tawny yellow 

 colour." I thought my lessoni v. lutea was this variety and sent a specimen 

 of that to Mr. Hedley, but he writes "your shell is quite different, the type 

 specimen o^ paJliila is an odd shell, I have seen none like it and now doubt 

 if it is not an abnormal individual.'" 



Group of irhartoni. 

 9.— T. bebias, Brazier. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. (iii), 1878, p. 78. 

 Loc. — Garden Is., Rockingham Bay, Queensland. 

 Almost identical with icliartoni in general appearance, but the umbilicus is 

 less open, some specimens being quite imperforate; may or may not have a 

 circum-umbilical brown patch. The chief distinction between this and 

 whartoni is the difference in the microscopic sculpture, the latter consists 

 of closely-set, silk-like, slightly waved striae, whereas in hehia>i it is coarser 

 and more granular. 



10.— T. zebina, Brazier. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1878, p. 78, pi. 8, fig. 2. 

 Loc — Douglas River, Queensland 

 Type in Australian Museum, Sydney. 

 Very close to hebiaii but thicker, more globose, and its microscopic granu- 

 lated sculpture is more conspicuous. It is said by Brazier to be imperforate, 

 but I have a slightly perforate specimen before me. 

 11 — T. whartoni, Cox. 

 P.Z.S., 187 1, p. 55, pi 3, figs. 5, 5a. 

 = vioufilyana, Braz. : P.Z.S., 1895, p. 31, pi. 4, fig. i. 

 Loc. — Port Denison, Queensland. 

 Type in British Museum. 

 A thin multi-banded shell approaching some of the varieties of iiiuhjramiitiix, 

 but distinguished by its microscopical sculpture, which consists of oblique, 

 closely-set, slightly waved, almost straight striae ; this sculpture is seen (under 

 the lens) to be quite distinct from that of bebias and its allies.
