Description. See Gudmundsson (1994, p. 115, text figs 23, 24, pl. 3, figs 1, 3), Hohenegger et al. (1999, p. 128, fig. 9), Yordanova & Hohenegger (2002, p. 182, pl. 29, figs 10–13) and Parker (2009, p. 152, figs 108a–l, 109a–l).
Remarks. Peneroplis pertusus ( Forskål 1775) is a well-known species that consistently displays variation in morphology that commonly makes confident specific assignment difficult ( Boltovskoy & Wright 1976). Forskål (1775) never illustrated nor elected a holotype with the original description of this species as Nautilus pertusus and therefore, similar to Van Marle (1991) is considered nomen nudum. Attempts have been made to subdivide this species ( Heron-Allen & Earland 1915; Gudmundsson 1994), but a definitive classification for this taxon is still elusive.
Specimens from the CG were assigned to P. pertusus due to their compressed planispiral test with an adult stage that can uncoil, fan out and in some cases become partially uniserial. Apertures are terminal, but the size, shape, arrangement and number can differ greatly within this species ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 :17–20; Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 :1–5). Juvenile specimens bear varying arrangements of crenulated apertures that can divide at the base of the apertural face. During ontogeny, the apertures can also take the form of sub-parallel vermicular slits that become more parallel and uniform in nature the closer the specimens get to the fanning, uniserial ontogenetic stage. The chamber walls are ornamented by numerous low costae that follow the direction of coiling and are interrupted by depressed sutures.
The juvenile form of P. pertusus is similar to Peneroplis antillarum d’Orbigny 1839 whilst adult forms closely resemble Peneroplis planatus (Fichtel & Moll 1993) . However, as outlined by Hohenegger et al. (1999), P. pertusus can be differentiated from both P. antillarum by possessing evolute (as opposed to involute) planispiral enrolment in later chambers and from P. planatus by lacking fanning outer chambers in combination with a pronounced umbilicus. Additionally, the sutures of P. pertusus are more strongly depressed and the final section of adult specimens never display flaring chambers. However, it is now clear that some adult P. pertusus do in fact have flaring final chambers ( Brady 1884; Loeblich & Tappan 1994; Saraswati et al. 2004; Goldbeck et al. 2005; Parker 2009).
Forskål (1775) never illustrated nor elected a holotype with the original description of this species and there exists substantial morphological variety. The P. pertusus specimens from Shell Cove collected by Brady (1884) exhibit either a stout, lenticular, biconvex morphology or a flat, large, flaring test shape. Further morphological variation includes types with a broad septal margin and thin, deeply depressed sutures that give the test a lobate outline. Morphotypes with a large, flaring test have thin, weakly depressed sutures that gave the test a smooth or weakly lobate outline. Specimens assigned to P. planatus from Wood Lark Island also display these morphological variants, however, most specimens have the large, flat, flaring test morphology associated with P. planatus . Furthermore , the central axis from which the sutures flare radially is not centered in these specimens but is offset to one side creating an asymetrical shape. Peneroplis pertusus specimens from Shell Cove possessed this feature as well, but it is not as exaggerated. Strong morphological similarities under both taxonimic names exist and other authors have combined both morphotyptes under P. pertusus ( Cheng & Zheng 1978; Parker 2009) or P. planatus ( Hottinger et al. 1993) however it is the large, flat and flaring test morphology and linear arrangement of regular to irregular apertures that establishes P. planatus from P. pertusus . Due to the large amount of literature that separates these two species based on these morphological characteristic, CG specimens have been similarly separated.
Peneroplis pertusus View in CoL has a cosmopolitan distribution. Originally collected from the Suez Canal, Egypt ( Forskål 1775), P. pertsus has been collected extensively throughout the Pacific from Australia ( Brady 1884; Gudmundsson 1994; Lobegeier 1995; Parker 2009; Narayan & Pandolfi 2010) at depths of 5–46 m, north to Indonesia and the South-west Pacific Islands ( Van Marle 1991; Loeblich & Tappan 1994) at depths down to 132 m, from Japan ( Hatta & Ujiié 1992b; Hohenegger et al. 1999; Yordanova & Hohenegger 2002; Saraswati et al. 2004), China ( Cheng & Zheng 1978) and Central Pacific ( Hallock 1984; Harney et al. 1999; Bicchi et al. 2002). It has additionally been found throughout the Carribean ( Cushman 1921a; Gudmundsson 1994), the Meditteranean ( Goldbeck et al. 2005) and Egypt ( Hottinger et al. 1993).
Distribution within study area. Peneroplis pertusus occurred in all sampled CG reefs with an average number abundance of approximately five specimens per site. However, this species was by far the most abundant on the reef rampart at site 10 of the ST/HW transect across Heron Reef flat where 94 specimens were counted. Other notable occurrences were also recorded from sites 50 and 52 in One Tree Lagoon 2, with 29 and 20 specimens collected, respectively. The lowest abundance of P. pertusus was recorded in Heron Lagoon where only eight specimens were collected from three sites.

Description. See Hohenegger et al. (1999, p. 128, fig. 8), Yordanova & Hohenegger (2002, p. 182, pl. 29, figs 6–9) and Debenay (2012, p. 114, pl. 4).
Remarks. Despite lectotypes being later established and illustrated for this species ( Rögl & Hansen 1984), as previously commented for P. pertusus , there is significant difficulty in establishing P. planatus as a separate species when P. pertusus encompasses such a broad range of morphologies, incluing those resembling P. planatus . However, due to the significant amount of literature that does split P. pertusus and P. planatus , CG specimens of this species have been identified due to their flat cross-section, their flaring outer chambers ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 :6) and their long row of linearly arranged apertures ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 :7).
The most varying morphological features between specimens of P. plantus include the shape of the apertures and the flaring extent of the final chambers. Different taxonomic descriptions and manuscripts have described the apertures of P. planatus as both regular ( Hohenegger et al. 1999) and irregular ( Debenay 2012). Capricorn Group specimens possess a regular aperture shape ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 :3) bearing strong similarity to others specimens of the Pacific ( Brady 1884; Cushman 1921a; Hallock 1984; Hohenegger et al. 1999).
Fichtel & Moll’s (1798) original specimens were reported from Tuscany and possesses a global distribution ( Admiralty Islands from 29–46 m—Brady 1884; Monego Bay , Jamaica—Cushman 1921a; Xisha Islands—Cheng & Zheng 1978; Palau and Oahu Reefs—Hallock 1984; eastern Indonesia—Van Marle 1991; Mediterranean— Loeblich & Tappan 1988; Gulf of Aqaba lower photic zone—Hottinger 1993; Ryukyu Island Arc—Hatta & Ujiié 1992b, Hohenegger et al. 1999 and Yordanova & Hohenegger 2002; Ningaloo Reef—Parker, 2009; New Caledonia southwestern lagoon down to 40 m—Debenay 2012).
Distribution within study area. Peneroplis planatus was found in low numbers (never more than 8 specimens per site) within Heron, One Tree and Wistari Reefs within the CG. It was most commonly collected from the Heron Reef flat and scarce within Wistari Reef where it was collected only once from a single site (24).
