DISTRIBUTION. — Indian Ocean: Somalia (Kosuge 1993) to the Andaman Islands (Smith 1878). Pacific Ocean: from Kii Peninsula to the Philippines (Tsuchiya 2000). Coral Sea and New Caledonia, live in 15-25 m, empty shells down to 68 m. Loyalty Ridge, Loyalty Islands and Vanuatu, empty shells in 120-260 m. REMARKS. — <i>Coralliophila abnormis</i> is commonly found throughout its range in water shallower than about 100 m. The deeper records of empty shells from Loyalty Ridge and Vanuatu are likely to be a result of drift from shallower water. The protoconch of <i>Coralliophila armeniaca</i>, as described by D’Attilio &amp; Myers (1984: 89, fig. 23), is multispiral (3.5 whorls) with 2 poorly nodulose spiral cords crossed by axial ridges.
