Banc Président Thiers. BENTHAUS, stn DW 1932, 24°41’S, 146°02’W, 500-800 m, 1 lv.

Rimatara. BENTHAUS, stn DW 2018, 22°37’S, 152°49’W, 770-771 m, 1 lv.

DISTRIBUTION. — Known from New Caledonia ( Dijkstra 1985) and the Hawaiian Islands (form gregoryi Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938). Depth range 50-70 m (alive) (unpubl. data, coll. HD). Now also Austral Islands (new record), only loose valves at 500-770 m depth.

REMARKS

The present specimens are in all characters indistinguishable from the holotype from the Loyalty Islands. The morph of the Hawaiian Islands has somewhat larger auricles and more emphasized radial lirae in proportion to typical specimens.
