MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Fiji. MUSORSTOM 10: stn CP 1384, 18°19’S, 178°06’E, 260-305 m, 2 dd juv (Figs 4B, C); stn CP 1390, 18°19’S, 178°05’E, 234-361 m, 1 dd GoogleMaps .
REMARKS. — The protoconch is paucispiral and broad, the aperture is broad, strongly denticulate within, the teleoconch whorls are ornamented with 4 varices with broad, webbed spines, there are 5 primary spiral cords on the fourth whorl, 3 on early whorls, and the siphonal canal is fairly long. We could not identify this species. However, as the shells are undoubtedly juveniles, with only 4 teleoconch whorls (an adult specimen of Favartia has 6 or 7 whorls), we illustrate it to facilitate recognition when adult specimens are collected.
