[Not Pinnixa faba (Dana, 1851) ]. Material. QLD: AM G5919, 2 males (cw 6.7–7.0 mm, cl 6.2–6.4 mm ), 1 female (cw 9.8 mm , cl 7.2 mm ), Masthead Id., 23°32’S , 151°44’E , from Haliotis asinina , F. E. Grant ; AM P14875 (identified by Haswell as Pinnixia faba ), 1 female (cw 12.7 mm , cl 9.0 mm), Holbourne Id., Port Denison, found in Haliotis coccoradiata ; AM P3155, 2 females (cw 12.3– 12.7 mm , cl 7.9–8.8 mm ), Masthead Id., 23°32’S , 151°44’E , from Haliotis asinina , A. McCulloch & E. Troughton, Aug 1912 . Australian hosts. Gastropod molluscs, Haliotidae . Haliotis asinina Linnaeus, 1758 ( Grant & McCulloch, 1906 ; Geiger & Martin, 1999 ), H. coccoradiata Reeve, 1846 ( Haswell, 1882 ) ; H. squamata Reeve, 1846 ( Geiger & Martin, 1999 ) . Remarks. Rathbun (1918) was the first to suggest that Haswell's (1882) record of Pinnixia faba from Australia was probably incorrect. Geiger & Martin (1999) further suggested that most previous records of Pinnixa faba from Australia could have been based on Orthotheres haliotidis . Thomson’s (1893) report of Pinnixia faba from Tasmania, perpetuated by Guiler (1952) is almost certainly based on Pinnotheres hickmani , the common Tasmanian species. Other primary records of P. f a b a from Australia are based on specimens in the collections of the Australian Museum; all were re­examined and are referable to O . haliotidis . The specimen from Holbourne Island, Port Denison (AM P14875), is the basis of Haswell’s (1882) record and those from Masthead Island (G5919) are the basis of Grant & McCulloch’s (1906) record. Subsequent reports of Pinnixia faba from Australia (i.e. Schmitt et al. 1973 , Davie 2002 ) are based on the original records of Haswell (1882) and Grant & McCulloch (1906) . Distribution. Australia , from Fremantle, Western Australia and Lizard Island, Masthead Island, Rat Island, and Port Denison, Queensland ( Geiger & Martin 1999, this study ).
