The single left valve from the "Siboga" collection, which I refer to T. [T?) pulcherrima 

 is not full grown, and has not developed the characteristic sculpture of this species. 



Distribution: — T.{T}) pîtlcherrima is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific Région. 



The "Siboga" Expédition collected a single young valve of this species at the Anchorage 

 off Djangkar, Java (St. 4).

Sowerby's référence of Tellina squamtilosa to Deshayes "Proc. Zool., 1840, p. 161", is 

 certainly incorrect, and the shell figured by hini is only a bleached valve of T. asperrima. 

 Adam's name T. squamiilosa is also to be included in the synonymy of T. [T.) asperrima. 



The surface of the valves is provided with minute pointed spines except in the beak 

 area ; hère the concentric striae are better developed and form regular ridges. 



Distribution: — T. [T.) asperrima has been recorded from the Philippines, Australia 

 and Madagascar. 



In the "Siboga" collection it is represented by a single right valve collected at the 

 Anchorage off Djangkar, Java (St. 4).
