Le Roy (1964: F20; pi. 3, figs 7, 8) records Q. contorta from the Neogene of Okinawa, west Pacific. Because of its well-pronounced striate ornamentation, however, we hesitate to include Le Roy's species within the present synonymy. In apertural view, the Togopi specimens have either rounded or truncate chamber peripheries (Figs 13, 14). The truncate form is very similar in appearance to that from the Recent of north- east Japan figured by Matoba (1970: pi. 2, figs 6a, b) and closely resembles d'Orbigny's type-figure (1846: pi. 20, figs 4-6)..

Fossil: Originally described from the Tertiary of Nussdorf in the Vienna Basin (d'Orbigny 1846) it has subsequently been recorded from the Pliocene of Japan (Asano 1951, Matsunaga 1963). Recent: Coasts of Japan (Asano 1956a, Chiji & Lopez 1968, Matoba 1970); Diu, north-west India (Rocha & Ubaldo 1964a).
