Actaeomorpha erosa Miers.

Actaeomorpha erosa Miers, Jour. Linn. Soc., Zool., 13, p. 1, pl. 14, 1883.

Several specimens from Coral Bay, Sunday Island, and from Meyer Island, on coral; some dredged in 12 fathoms.

These specimens agree minutely with Miers's description, drawn up from a single specimen dredged in 7 fathoms in Port Curtis, Australia. Some of the specimens have the dorsal surface variously marked with red, and this, together with the granulated nature of the surface, gives them the appearance of small pieces of coral.
