REMARKS. — Siphonochelus boucheti differs from S. japonicus (which co-occurs with it in Fiji , see below) in having more shouldered whorls and a more globose, comparatively large protoconch. In S. boucheti the varices are strongly shouldered and the anal tubes are somewhat separated from the varices, while in S. japonicus the varices are rounded, more strongly curved backwards, and the anal tubes are flatter and broader and not separated from the varices.
