There can be no doubt that Psaminobia reevei von Martens is the same as G. weinkauffi^ 

 but the shells of G. palhda which some authors consider as synonymous with G. weinkati-ffi 

 hâve the posterior ridges more distinctly marked, and the gênerai form and proportions of the 

 shells are différent. 



The sculpture on the shells of G. weinkauffi^ though similar to that of G. pallida^ is 

 much less impressed. 



Distribution : — The type of G. ■wei7ikauffi was stated as having been collected on 

 the Algerian coast, but as Bertin suggested, this was probably due to a mistake. The species 

 is a true Indo-Pacific form and is also found in the Red Sea. 



In the "Siboga" collection it is represented from the Bay of Pidjot, Lombok (St. 33), Bay 

 of Bima (St. 47), between Loslos and Broken Islands, west coast of Salawati (St. 162), Anchorage 

 ofï Atjatuning, west coast of New Guinea (St. 1 69) and Anchorage east coast of Dangar Besar, 

 Saleh Bay (St. 313).

The inverted V-shaped ribbing on the posterior part of the shell is very characteristic 

 of G. dispar. The sculpture of G. pennata (Deshayes) ^) from the Philippines is similar, but the 

 ribs are much finer and the gênerai form of the two species is altogether différent. 



Distribution : — G. dispar was described from the Philippines, and has since been 

 recorded from the Red Sea. The "Siboga" shells were collected at the Anchorage off Seba, 

 Savu (St. 58), Bank between the Islands of Bahuluwang and Tambolungan, south of Saleyer 

 (St. 66) and Tuai Anchorage, Kei Islands (St. 258).
