REMARKS. — Very young specimens of Pagodula obtuselirata and P. plicilaminata are difficult to separate because they have a similar protoconch and nearly identical morphology of the first and second teleoconch whorls. Therefore a misidentification is always possible in juveniles. Adult specimens of P. plicilaminata are comparatively smaller than P. obtuselirata with more numerous axial lamellae on the last teleoconch whorl and a shorter siphonal canal. Pagodula plicilaminata was transfered to Pagodula , together with P. obtuselirata and other species, by Houart (2001) .
