Material. 23 specimens. NB 9447, 9449, 9450. Variation. Maximum diameter 0-41-1-25 mm, thickness 0-12-0-35 mm. Number of chambers in first whorl 5-6, second whorl 5-9, final whorl 7-10. Remarks. Loeblich & Tappan (1964) rediagnosed the genera Epistomaroides and Epistomaria and selected lectotypes for their respective type-species Discorbina polystomelloides Parker & Jones and Discorbina rimosa Parker & Jones. D. rimosa, according to them, is restricted to the Eocene of Europe. All the Recent Indo-Pacific specimens labelled D. rimosa in the Parker Collection (British Museum (Natural History)) are without exception clearly referable to D. polystomelloides, as are Parker & Jones' Recent records of D. rimosa from the Australian coral reefs (in Carpenter 1862) and India (1865); similarly, Graham & Militante's specimen (1959 : pi. 14, figs 4a-c) from the Philippines is almost certainly D. polystomelloides. The paralectotypes of Epistomaroides polystomelloides (BM(NH) no. ZF 3602) show that there is a considerable range of variation within the sp
