C Remarks.—There are three specimens from the Late Miocene Nancy Point Formation of Finger Island, west of Bluefied Bay. Valiente Peninsula. Province of Bocas del Toro. Panama, which were collected on different occassions and therefore carry different locality num- bers: NMB 17629 ( = PPP 191), NMB 17824 ( = PPP 477). and NMB 1871 1 ( = PPP 2212). For exact loca- tion see Coates (1999b. map 5. inset A. p. 291; 1999c, section 14, p. 318). Two of these specimens are incomplete juveniles, and the third is a worn adult lacking its protoconch. One of the juveniles has an incompletely preserved protoconch, which consists of abut volutions. On its last part a few opisthocryt axial riblets arc recog- nizable. The adult specimen from NMB locality 17824 is fairly large (restored height mm, width mm, ratio ). The profile of the early teleoconch whorls is straight, with a slight angulation near the abapical suture, and that of late whorls is slightly convex. The number of axial ribs per whorl is nine on early whorls and 12 on the body whorl. The preservation of this material is insufhcient to allow meaningful compari- sons with described species. Lepicythara sp. D Text-tigure 74 Reimirks.—A single specimen from NMB locality 17757 (=PPP 275) is available. This locality is situ- ated near Punta Judas on the Pacific coast of the Prov- ince of Puntarenas, Costa Rica (for exact location see Jung 1995, p. 44, fig. 1), and the age is probably Late Miocene. The specimen is fairly large (restored height mm, width mm, ratio ) and stout, it has a large apical angle. Unfortunately it is worn and partly encrusted, so that some feature
