Fig. 111

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — New Caledonia proper. BIOCAL: stn DW 46, 22°53’S, 167°17’E, 570-610 m, 1 dd GoogleMaps .

Fiji. BORDAU 1: stn DW 1432, 17°20’S, 178°44W, 477-493 m, 1 dd (Fig. 111).

DISTRIBUTION. — Southern New Caledonia and Fiji, empty shells in 493-570 m.

REMARKS. — The two shells collected are very similar to material from the Kermadec Ridge ( NZOI) to be described by Marshall & Oliverio (in prep.), except for their lack of secondary spiral cordlets. To ascertain whether they fall within the range of variation of a single species more material is needed.
