On Gastropteron bicornutum

From: Bill Rudman

In an recent message I mention that a photo in Okutani (2000) - Marine Mollusks in Japan, which is labelled G. bicornutum is a misidentified specimen of Siphopteron nigromarginatum.

I have just noticed that there are two photos in the book which are labelled as G. bicornutum.

• On page 749 there is an unnumbered colour plate with a photo of Siphopteron nigromarginatum incorrectly identified as G. bicornutum.
• On page 754, in Plate 375, fig. 2 there is a photo of a correctly identified specimen of G. bicornutum.
