Original Description

Description.—Similar to Lamprocyclas maritalis maritalis (p. 74), but with a greater number abdominal pores (11-14 on a half-equator, 4-6 in a vertical series), and shell usually thinner-walled and more delicate. Abdomen tends to expand a little distally, thus becoming truncate conical rather than cylindrical. Dimensions.—Total length (excluding apical horn) 128-164/«,. Length of cephalis 27-36p,; of thorax 45-63/«.; of abdomen (excluding peristome) 45-72/t. Maximum breadth of thorax 81—100/«.; of abdomen 119-136/1. Indian Ocean occurrences (fig. 40).—L. maritalis polypora is rare in both low and middle latitudes, occurring in somewhat greater numbers (up to 4% of the described population) in the former (but see discussion below). Holotype: MSN 39G, A-J41/1; Sedgwick Museum No. 846.4. Discussion.—Distinctions between L. maritalis maritalis and L. maritalis poly- pora might seem rather artificial, but they form a useful division insofar as there seems to be a correlation of the two forms with latitude. Both subspecies are found in low and middle latitudes, but in middle latitudes L. maritalis maritalis is fairly abundant and L. maritalis polypora is rare, and in low latitudes both subspecies are rather rare but L. maritalis polypora is relatively more abundant.

Indian Ocean occurrences (fig. 39) .- L. maritalis maritalis is very sparsely distributed in low latitudes, but is fairly abundant (3% to 9% of the described population) south of 35° S (cf. L. maritalis polypora, discussion, p.77).
