« The Schilders have separated no fewer than seven races of this species,allowing longior from North Australia, while they use obscura Rossiter for the Pacific form. However, obscura Rossiter given to a colour aberration from New Caledonia is invalid as there is a prior obscura Gaskoin. The Pacific "obscura" Schilders is very similar to longior, but the coarser and more produced teeth seem to separate it, while it does not grow quite so long. It may be renamed E. caurica thema subsp. nov. (PI. xxix., fig. 12), the type being the New Caledonian "obscura" shell figured. The West Australian shells are notably broader, though otherwise showing the general features of Australian caurica, viz., length, lack of marginal thickening, short coarse teeth, and may be called E. caurica blaesa subsp. nov. (PI.xxix., figs. 3-4). »
