262 RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 
Hab. Queensland :—10 to 20 fathoms, Darnley Island; Warrior Island 
(Brazier); 4 to 14 fathoms, Albany Passage; 5 to 10 fathoms, Hope 
Island ; 15 fathoms, Palm Islands (self). Western Australia :—12 fathoms, 
45 miles W.S.W. Cape Janbert (Mjéberg). 
HUCITHARA ALACRIS sp. 100. 
(Plate xlvi., figs. 54, 55.) 
Cythara maculata Brazier, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1., 1876, p. 160 (not 
Mangelia maculata Reeve). 
Shell slender, fusiform, glossy. Whorls seven, of which one and 
a half compose a small, smooth, helicoid protoconch. Colour white, 
ornamented with four to six pale orange bands, appearing only in the 
interstices, not on the ribs; these sometimes coalesce from above and 
below, thus replacing spiral by radial painting. Sculpture:—Radial ribs 
are well developed, projecting as an angle on the shoulder, continuing 
from suture to base, and amounting to ten on the last whorl; the spiral 
threads are sharp on the upper whorls, where they are decussated by 
radial strie; gradually they vanish, till on the middle of the last whorl 
the surface seems smooth to the eye, and only a few engraved spirals can 
be found with a lens. Aperture:—The mouth is linear; the slight varix 
encloses a small sinus, and extends in a narrow free edge; inner lip well 
developed, with fifteen cross-bars; beneath the varix are fourteen short 
entering plice. Length 11 mm., breadth 4 mm. 
This species is allied to H. angela, but is smaller, more pointed at the 
ends, with fewer ribs, and not so sharply angled at the shoulder. 
Hab. Queensland :—5 to 8 fathoms, Murray Island (type); Lizard 
Island; Bar of Annam River: Dunk and Palm Islands (self); 30 fathoms, 
Darnley Island (Brazier). 
HucrrHara ANGELA Adams and Anyas. 
Cithara angela Adams and Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1863 (1864), p. 419, 
pl. xxxvii., fig. 4. 
Cithara balansai Crosse, Journ. de Conch., xxi., 18738, pp. 65, 131], pl. v., 
fig. 5. 
Mangilia (Cithara) bulansai Bouge and Dautzenberg, Journ. de Conch., 
Ixi., 1914, p. 157. 
Of three specimens which I collected in Torres Straits in 1907 one 
has eight and another fourteen ribs, thus easily linking angela with 
bulansai, and supporting the above novel synonymy. 
Hab. Queensland :—5 to 8 fathoms, Murray Island (self).
