DISTRIBUTION. — Very little is known about the geographical distribution of C. paucimaculata but it probably occurs throughout the Indo-West Pacific. Specimens are known from some scattered localities: the Red Sea ( MNHN), the Indian Ocean ( MNHN), Japan (type locality), the Philippines ( MNHN, and in coll. R. Houart), New Caledonia ( MNHN) and the Tuamotu archipelago (in coll. J. Tröndlé). It is very common in the Philippines .
REMARKS. — Cytharomorula paucimaculata differs from C. lefevreiana in having a smoother, larger shell with a lirate rather than denticulate aperture.
