DISTRIBUTION. — New Caledonia, Loyalty Ridge , Norfolk Ridge, Vanuatu, now Fiji and Tonga, shells in 184-440 m.

REMARKS. — Compared with Cytharomorula lefevreiana (Tapparone Canefri, 1880) , C. danigoi has fewer and shorter denticles within the aperture, the shell is broader with less angular teleoconch whorls, a broader, more globose protoconch, and the tip of the siphonal canal is always dark brown instead of the same colour as the rest of the shell.
