Gari squamosa (Lam.) is the type of Dall's section Grammatomya^ in which the strong 

 oblique sculpture of the shells is continuous over the posterior dorsal area. In this région the 

 ridges, which run from in front of the umbones to the posterior margin, are thicker and bear 

 small scales. Dall's description of the hinge is incorrect, for as von Martens correctly described 

 there is only a single tooth in the left valve and of the two in the right valve the anterior 

 one is only feebly developed. 



Distribution : — G. [G.) sqitainosa has a very wide range in the Indo-Pacific. 



In the "Siboga" collection the species is represented by a single shell collected at the 

 Banda Anchorage (St. 240).
