CHANGES TO SPECIES

p. 167 Anoplodactylus evansi should be replaced by Stylopallene longicauda Stock, 1973
Habitat: Moderately exposed reef; 10-22 m depth.
Distribution: Western Port, Vic., and around Tas.
Maximum size: Length to 30 mm.
Stylopallene longicauda has a pale cream body and legs with dark blue or black bands. The species is relatively common on Tasmanian reefs, and is often found in association with the bryozoan Amathia biseriata. Another banded species commonly seen by divers, Anoplodactylus evansi, possesses a dark red basal colour, blue bands and yellow joints.
----
p. 230 Cosmetalepas concatenatus should be replaced by
Amblychilepas oblonga (Menke, 1843)
Habitat: Moderately exposed reef; 0-6 m depth.
Distribution: Geraldton, WA, to Western Port, Vic.
Maximum size: Shell length to 28 mm.
Amblychilepas oblonga has an oval shell with pale-cream basal colour and broad reddish rays. It avoids sunlight so lives under rocks or in crevices, and is not often seen alive.
---
p. 232 Notomella bajula should be replaced by
Tugali parmophoidea (Quoy & Gaimard, 1834)
Habitat: Under rocks on moderately exposed reef; 0-12 m depth.
Distribution: SA to NSW.
Maximum size: Length to 25 mm.
Tugali parmophoidea has a small white shell with numerous fine radial ribs crossed by slightly weaker concentric ridges It is a slit limpet, and therefore related to the keyhole limpets and abalone, but has an inconspicuous groove on the underside rather than the pronounced slit in the front of the shell seen in two other slit limpets that are relatively
common in southern Australia (Notomella bajula and Notomella candida). The slits and grooves serve the same respiratory and excretory functions as the holes in keyhole limpets and abalone.
---
p. 240 Phasianotrochus irisodontes should be replaced by
Phasianotrochus rutilus (Adams, 1851)
Habitat: Sheltered seaweed; 0-5 m depth.
Distribution: SA to Vic., and around Tas.
Maximum size: Height to 15 mm.
Phasianotrochus rutilus can usually be identified by its green-brown shell covered by wavy lines, an iridescent sheen to the interior and squat rounded appearance. A similar species that occurs abundantly on seagrasses rather than seaweeds in the region, Phasianotrochus irisodontes, lacks the wavy lines and has a greener shell. Shells of both species were used by Tasmanian Aboriginal tribes for making necklaces.
---
p. 273 Bursatella leachii should be replaced by Bursatella sp.
Habitat: Moderately exposed seagrass, reef, sand; 3-22 m depth.
Distribution: Perth to Albany, WA.
Maximum size: Length to 100 mm.
Bursatella sp. is easily recognised by the distinctive covering of light-coloured hairs and tufted processes on the body. The background colour is black, with small blue-green spots. A related species, Bursatella leachii, occurs in the tropics.
---
p. 306 Tawera lagopus should be replaced by
Tawera gallinula (Lamarck, 1818)
Habitat: Moderately exposed sand; 0-40 m depth.
Distribution: Southern W.A. to N.S.W., and around Tas.
Maximum size: Length to 40 mm.
Tawera gallinula has numerous concentric ridges on the outside of the shell, and a row of fine serrations around the outer margin where the valves contact each other.  The valves are marked by brown blotches arranged in radiating bands.   A related species, Tawera lagopus;, has weaker concentric ridges and a white interior.  Both species are moderately
common on sand off sheltered ocean beaches.
---
p. 322 Hornera foliacea should be replaced by
Hornera robusta (MacGillivray, 1883)
Habitat: Moderately exposed reef; 5-30 m depth.
Distribution: Vic. and around Tas. Also N.Z.
Maximum size: Colony length to 120 mm.
Hornera robusta is a beautiful lace-like species with branches repeatedly divided into smaller branchlets.  This bryozoan is moderately common on reefs protected from water turbulence. A similar relative, Hornera foliacea, can be distinguished by numerous interconnections between branches.
----
p. 322 Biflustra perfragilis should be replaced by
Steginoporella chartacea (Lamarck, 1816)
Habitat: Exposed reef; 6-70 m depth.
Distribution: Gulf St Vincent, SA, to southern NSW. and northern Tas.
Maximum size: Colony length to 500 mm.
Steginoporella chartacea forms folded yellow-orange colonies made up of interconnected sheets with zooids on both sides. It also occasionally forms encrusting single-sided colonies over rock. The species is normally seen on vertical walls or under overhangs, and has sometimes been called Steginoporella truncata.
