Remarks 
This rarely reported species is known only from 
the holotype, which is probably lost (Milne Edwards 
and Haime 1860: 108), and specimens reported by 
Zou (1988), which are doubtful in identification. The 
Western Australian specimen figured below agrees 
well with the original description except for being 
slightly smaller (9.6 x 7.1 mm in calicular diameter, 
6.8 mm in height, and 6.1 mm in pedicel diameter) 
and in having a uniform black-brown pigmentation 
on the calicular elements that extends to the theca 
within 1 mm from the calicular edge. It contains 96 
septa: one half system lacks a pair of S5 and another 
has a pair of S6. 
The other subspecies, Oulangia stokesiana miltoni, 
described by Yabe and Eguchi (1932), is known 
from Japan and South Korea (Caims, 1994). 
Distribution 
Western Australia: King Sound, Kimberley; 
intertidal reef rock. Elsewhere: Fog Bay, Northern 
Territory (reported herein); Philippines; /South 
China Sea (Zou 1988); 1-6 m.
