Remarks
This genus is characterised by its radula characters and very long proboscis. The type species has been recorded from the SCS (see Taylor and Wells 1994, p 111, pl. 1h, 2f,g, Hong Kong), as have several other species, which resemble Cheungbeia mindanensis ( Smith, 1877) in shell characters, particularly in their strongly oblique, sinuous axial ribs. Although their foregut anatomy remains unknown, these can provisionally be referred to Cheungbeia , and are briefly discussed below.
