1966 Scissurella declinans Watson, 1886 View in CoL —Ladd, p. 12, 26–27, pl. 2, fig. 6. 2012 Scissurella mirifica ( Adams, 1862) View in CoL —Geiger: p. 235–251, figs 133–139, color plate 3D.

Material. Tiep3 (1) RGM 961.705.

Characterization. Shell with flattened apex and inflated base; H 0.90 mm, W 1.26 mm; P with axial sculpture, DN 0.04 mm; T2 with fine sculpture; spiral and axial cords equal in strength, axial cords prosocline; aperture large, inclined.

Distribution. Indo-Malayan Archipelago to Central Pacific, 0–6 m depth live, in algae and coral rubble of reefs (Geiger 2012). Also known from the “Upper Miocene” of the Bikini Atoll ( Ladd 1966).

Remarks. The studied material conforms to the description by Geiger (2012), although some of the characters, especially on T1, are obscured by sediment and the protoconch is corroded.
