Subfamily CyprarovuLinaE. 
Forty-five millimetres in length or less; pyriform; extremities well produced, 
especially the outer lip posteriorly in a characteristic curve; typically umbilicate; 
spotted, blotched or unicoloured; typically spirally irregularly striate but usually 
smooth; margin calloused; base rounded; teeth coarse or fine, produced across 
the base or obsolete. Genera are: Cypraeovula Gray, 1824, Cypraea capensis Gray, 
1828. Luponia Gray, 18382 — Gaskeima Roberts, 1870, Cypraca algoensis Gray, 
1825, Notovypraea Schilder, 1927, Cypraea piperita Gray, 1825. Gutliacypraca 
Tredale, 1935, Cypraea pulicaria Reeve, 1846, Thelainovwm Iredale, 1931, Thelzi- 
novum mollert Iredale, 1931, The Southern Australian gencra of small cowries 
obviously belong here, and have nothing to do with Austrocypraeinae. Like 
Zoilinae, the teeth are here typically weakly developed. For the pure cream or 
white species, which is so distinct from other Notocypraca, we have used the name 
subcarned Beddome, 1896, which oceurs in Tasmania and South-Eastern South 
Australia, We have beautiful pure white specimens taken alive by Mrs. L. A. 
Elliott at Port Maedonnel, South Australia,

Shell small, smooth, greyish-white, narrowly pyriform, extremities slightly 
produced ; slightly umbilicate, whole of spire visible ; outer margin white, narrowly 
calloused, forming a narrow ridge; base rounded, not valloused; teeth very fine 
and short, Length 24 mm., width 13 mm. (holotype), Range 12-24 mm,, and 
9-13 mm, 
Loc. Western Australia, ninety miles west of Eucla, 100 fathoms (holotype) 
also 40 miles west of Euela, 116 fathoms, 
Remarks. Holotype. D. 11634, South Australian Museum, From a series of 
this species before us we can readily separate pulicaria, a cream to light-pink, 
brown. spotted species from shallow water.

GUTYACYPRABA PULICARIA Reeve, 1846, 
Although the shell is commoner in South-Western Australia, two or three 
specimens from Spencer Gulf and Gulf St, Vincent, South Australia, dredged 
in shallow water, are before us, as well as a couple of specimens in the Kenyon 
collection possibly from Victoria,
