The two odd valves in the "Siboga" collection which I refer to this species are both 

 young shells and do not show the characteristic form and sculpture of this beautiful species. 

 Thèse shells are of a purple red colour, and the sculpture consists of several low ridges with 

 small spines and 6 — 7 ribs bearing long straight and pointed spines. 



Distribution : — Spondylus regms is apparently confined to the Pacific Océan, from Japan 

 in the North to the New Guinea and Flores Coast in the South. 



The "Siboga" Expédition collected a young worn valve in the Bay of Bima (St. 47) and 

 dredged a larger valve at St. 164 (I°42^5 S., i30°47'.5E., 32 mètres).
