Distribution records Knysna, 4,6 m (); Sedgefield, 5 m (); Klein Brak River, 3,3 m (). Remarks Specimens from Pleistocene raised beaches () in the Mossel Bay- Algoa Bay area agree well with Recent specimens () from Mozambique Island, Bazaruto and Santa Carolina Islands (Mozambique) and from Dar-es- Salaam. The species was recorded from Algoa Bay by Tomlin (1923), but this example was almost certainly washed out of a raised beach, as there is no other record of Recent specimens from South African waters. There are in fact numerous specimens from the Swartkops beds in the collection. The type locality was Mozambique and it has been recorded from as far north as Ceylon (Robertson 1969). Barnard (1963a) described Pleistocene specimens of P. orbiculata in 5mm Fig. 6. Pseudostomatella orbiculata (A. Adams, 1850). A. Fossil (Knysna). B. Living (Dar es Salaam)..
