Cushman (1924) referred the form figured by Brady (1884) to Q. tropicalis because 'it is very different from the original Triloculina gracilis of d'Orbigny and probably represents a species of the tropical region of the Indo-Pacific'. The majority of the Togopi specimens have an apertural lip (Figs 22a, b) but a few do not (Fig. 23). The variation is therefore very similar to that illustrated by Cushman. All our material is quinqueloculine. Distribution. This species has previously been described from the Recent of Papua, New Guinea (Brady 1884), the Philippines (Graham & Militante 1959) and Samoa (Cushman 1924) and from the Pleistocene of Ewa Plain, Oahu, Hawaii (Resig 1969).
