Steadman & Cotton, 1943
REMARKS
The distinction between the ovulid subfamilies is mainly based on radular characters (
Schilder 1936
). The
Pseudocypraeinae
differ from the Pediculariinae Gray, 1853 by the morphology of their first and second marginal teeth, which are asymmetrical and whip-shaped in the
Pseudocypraeinae
Pseudocypraea adamsonii
(Sowerby, 1832)
, and palmleaf-shaped in the conchologically similar Pediculariinae
Jenneria
(s.s.)
pustulata
(Solander, 1786) (
Thiele 1929: 270
, figs 285, 286;
Azuma 1975: 76
, fig. 1;
