Abstract
Three new species of Scissurellidae from Australia are described: Incisura auriformis n. sp., Scissurella quadrata n. sp., and Sci. spinosa n. sp. They are compared to other species occurring in Australian waters: I. remota (Iredale, 1924) [+ I. vincentiana (Cotton, 1959)], I. rosea (Hedley, 1904), Sci. cyprina Cotton & Godfrey, 1938, Sci. declinans Watson, 1886, Sci. evaensis Bandel, 1998 [+ Maxwellella unispirata Bandel, 1998], Sinezona plicata (Hedley, 1899), Sukashitrochus atkinsoni (Tenison-Woods, 1877), Suk. indonesicus Bandel, 1988 [+ Suk. simplex Bandel, 1998], Suk. pulcher (Petterd, 1884), and Trogloconcha tesselata Kase & Kano, 2002. As under-appreciation of intraspecific variability has resulted in the introduction of synonyms, multiple specimens are illustrated here, along with radulae and distributional maps.References
