| The Cancellariidae collected by scientists working at the "King Leopold III" Biological Station on Laing Island, Hansa Bay, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG), have been studied. This material consists of 58 shells, belonging to six species: <i>Scalptia crenifera</i> (Sowerby, 1832), <i>S. crossei</i> (Semper, 1861), <i>S. laingensis</i> Verhecken, 1989, <i>S. obliquata</i> (Lamarck, 1822), <i>S. vangoethemi</i> sp. nov. and <i>Trigonostoma antiquatum</i> (Hinds, 1843). The collecting area was limited both geographically and bathymetrically, so that the results obtained probably reflect only part of the cancellariid fauna of PNG. |

| Olssonella scalatella (Guppy, 1873), originally described from early Pliocene deposits in Jamaica, still occurs as a recent species off the northern coast of S. America. This opinion is based on shells collected off Surinam and French Guyana, fossil specimens from the type-locality, and data from the literature. O. smithii (Dall, 1888) is considered a closely related recent species, occurring more to the north; it differs from O. scalatella mainly in characters of the protoconch. Conchological characters of the two taxa are discussed and some general notes are given concerning the importance of protoconch characters. |
