A single much damaged male of this species is in the collection. 

 It was obtained off Cape Three Points in 41-50 fathoms. 

 The specimen is 8 mm. in length and 5 mm. in breadth. It fully 

 agrees with the description and bears a striking resemblance to 

 Serolis australiensis, but is much smaller, less granulose, and 

 longer in proportion to its width.
