DISTRIBUTION. — Known only from a restricted area from the Coral Sea to southern New Caledonia, empty shells in 547-620 m.

REMARKS. — No living specimens have been collected. Mipus coriolisi differs from M. matsumotoi Kosuge, 1985 in its lower spire and the spindle-like shell shape, and from M. sugitanii Kosuge, 1985 and M. tortuosus (Azuma, 1961) in its rounded rather than keeled periphery and its lower spire.
