All
species of Buccinidae known to occur in NSW are treated here. In
addition to those figured, the following are recorded from the state.
Watson,
1886. Indo-West Pacific; in Australia, Houtman Abrolhos, WA, to
Tweed Heads, NSW;
Cantharus
pulcher (Reeve,
1846). Indo-West Pacific, to Bunker Group, Qld. A specimen dredged
from Sydney Harbour, probably subfossil, was named Clivipollia
imperita Iredale, 1929.
Cantharus
iostomus (Gray in
Griffith & Pidgeon, 1834). Synonym Phos billeheusti Petit,
1853. Indo-West Pacific, to Angourie, NSW. Rare in NSW.
Engina
armillata (Reeve,
1846). Indo-West Pacific, to Woolgoolga, NSW. Rare in NSW.
Engina
curtisiana (Smith,
1884). Indo-West Pacific, to Wooli, NSW. Rare in NSW.
Engina
egregia (Reeve,
1844). Indo-West Pacific, to northern NSW. Rare in NSW.
Engina
incarnata (Deshayes,
1834). Indo-West Pacific, to Solitary Islands, NSW. Rare in NSW.
Engina
lineata (Reeve,
1846). Indo-West Pacific, to Woolgoolga, NSW. Rare in NSW.
Engina
zonalis (Lamarck,
1822). Indo-West Pacific, to Woolgoolga, NSW. Rare in NSW.
Fusus
bednalli (Brazier,
1875). This species does not appear to occur in NSW, as the Australian
Museum holds no specimens from north of Lakes Entrance, Victoria.
However, Iredale & McMichael (1962) listed it from NSW as Ratifusus
bednalli volaticus (Iredale, 1925), and Wilson (1994, p.95) gives
the range as southern Queensland to Cape Leeuwin, WA.
Fusus
reticulatus (Adams,
1855). Synonym Fusus mestayerae Iredale, 1915. Sydney to
southern WA. Also New Zealand. The Australian Museum hold only two
specimens from NSW, both collected in the 19th century.
Pisania
fasciculata (Reeve,
18446). Synonym Pisania delicatula Sowerby, 1901. Indo-West
Pacific to southern Queensland, and possibly northern NSW. This common
tropical species is listed as occurring in NSW in Iredale &
McMichael's 1962 checklist, but is represented in the Australian
Museum collection by only two lots from NSW, both collected in the
19th century and of doubtful identity.
