Clips Palmadusta lutea (Gmelin 1791) and P. humphreysii (Gray 1825) are similar in size, shape, dentition, and the yellow to orange color of the punctate base, so that they have been mixed by many writers and collectors; however, they differ by several characters in markings as well as in geographical distribution in which they exclude each other. The main differences may be tabulated as follows: The map indicates most localities from which specimens have been examined personally: one will observe that P. lutea [rings] spreads from western Indonesia to Japan, Ceylon, Shark Bay and Yirrkala, whereas E. humphreysii [dots] spreads from New Caledonia to Sydney, Torres Strait, Solomon Is., Marshall Is., Samoa and Tonga Is. These two areas approach each other in the Gulf of Carpenteria, but they are widely separated between the Philippines and Solomon Is.; however, it is interesting that the three shells found in Pleistocene beds of Kajuragi, N.W. Celebes [bull's-eye] seem to belong to the eastern P. humphreysii which evidently is the more primitive taxon. Clips
Clips The note by Dr. Schilder in a recent issue of Sean Raynon Sabado (vol. 14, no. 12, October, 1966, p. 4) on the species of Cypraeidae found in the Īles Tubuai (the preferred name for the Austral Islands), and his requests for information on this subject has induced me to put on record the species found recently by my collectors in these islands. The specimens were collected in May - July, 1964 during a nine-month expedition organized by me for the purpose of gathering material for my research program on the molluscan fauna of Polynesia (see Sean Raynon Sabado, vol. 12, no. 7, May 1964, pp. 6-7). All the material gathered on this expedition will eventually be dealt with in detail in my report, but I hope to publish from time to time some preliminary notes that may be of particular interest. It is with this thought in mind that I submit the following information. Names marked with an asterisk are not in Schilder's list. Clips
