352 RECORDS OF THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 
PSEUDODAPHNELLA RUFOZONATA Angas. 
(Plate lvi., fig. 190.) 
Clathurella rufozonata Angas, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1877, p. 38, pl. v., fig. 13. 
Id. op. cit., 1880, p. 415. Td. Verco, Trans. Roy. Soc. 8.A., xxxiii., 
1909, p. 311. 
In the British Museum are six shells from Port Jackson, presented 
by G. F. Angas, and marked as the types of this species. The colour 
markings are irregularly disposed, or may be absent. 
By G. B. Sowerby 1” this species was united to P. tincta Reeve, and 
to P. albifuniculuta Reeve, an arrangement copied by Pritchard and 
Gatliff.208 But P. rufozonata is only two-thirds the height of tincta, is of 
a more slender build, and lacks the peculiar excavate base of that tropical 
species. The latter feature is shown in Reeve’s figure, and is mentioned 
by Hervier! as the “depression circulaire autour de son canal basal.” 
The records by Melvill and Standen! and by Bouge and Dautzenberg 11! 
of rufozonuta, from the Loyalty Islands, are doubtless due to the confusion 
between this and P. tincta. P. rufozonata is indeed more nearly related to 
albifuniculuta Reeve, but is smaller, more fusiform, and has the radials 
more prominent owing to the spirals being slighter. A more distant 
relation is P. barnardi, easily separable by the heavier sculpture and 
striking colour pattern. 
Hab. N.S. Wales:—Bottle and Glass Rocks, Port Jackson (type, 
Brazier); Catherine Hill Bay (Cherry). 
Var. TRACHYS Tenisou-Woods. 
Mangelia trachys Tenison-Woods, Trans. Roy. Soc. Vict., xiv., 1878, p. 57. 
This western form seems to be slightly larger and to be more highly 
coloured than the typical eastern rufozonatu, so the name of Tenison- Woods 
may serve to express a geographical race. 
Hab. Victoria:—Brighton (type, Melbourne Museum); Western Port 
and Polwarth (Pritchard and Gatliff). South Australia :—Hardwick Bay 
(Matthews). 
Var. noporere May. 
Olathurella nodorete May, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasm., 1915, p. 84, pl.i., fig. 4. 
This southern form differs slightly by a rather larger protoconch, 
and by less prominent sculpture. 
Hub. Tasmania:—80 fathoms, Schouten Island (type, May). 
107 Sowerby—Proc. Malae. Sce., ii., 1896, p. 28. : 
108 Pritchard and Gatliff—Proe. Roy. Soc. Vict., xii., 1900, p. 176. 
109 Hervier-—Journ. de Conch., xlv., 1897, p. 92. 
10 Melvill and Standen—Journ. of Conch., vili., 1897, p. 403. 
11 Bouge and Dautzenberg—Journ. de Conch., lxi., 1914, p, 204.
