Foweya anglica ( Norman & Scott, 1905)

Parastenhelia anglica Norman & Scott, 1905

Parastenhelia anglica was first described by Norman & Scott (1905: 289) and subsequently illustrated by the same authors ( Norman & Scott 1906: 148) from one or two female specimens dredged outside Fowey harbour, Cornwall. The species was not reported again until Wells (1963b) obtained it on a low spring tide from coarse shell gravel at Angus Rock in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. Ventham (2011) reported F. anglica from gravel/mudstone material collected at 21.2 m depth along the Sussex coast. Noli et al. (2018) recorded the species from fine littoral sands in Porto Frailis along the eastern coast of Sardinia (Ogliastra region). Finally, Packmor & George (2018) added another record from the littoral zone at Ponta Delgada in Madeira. Jayabarathi (2016) claimed to have found F. anglica (or F. angelica [sic]) in South Andaman but the authenticity of this record is doubtful.
