Four new species of encrusting Hamacantha (Vomerula) are described from bathyal depths of seamounts off Queensland and Tasmania in southeast Australia (H. (V.) novacula sp. nov., H. (V.) melliflura sp. nov., H. (V.) ridleyi sp. nov., H. (V.) levii sp. nov.). A previously described species known only from New Caledonia (H. (V.) acerata Lévi, 1993) has also been redescribed. A tabular comparison of all known species of H. (Vomerula) is provided, bringing the number of known species in the subgenus to 26. This is also the first record of the genus Hamacantha from the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone.
描述了来自澳大利亚东南部昆士兰和塔斯马尼亚海山深海的 4 种新的包壳 Hamacantha(Vomerula)物种(H. (V.) novacula sp. nov.、H. (V.) melliflura sp. nov.、H. (V.) ridleyi sp. nov. 和 H. (V.) levii sp. nov.)。还重新描述了一种以前仅在新喀里多尼亚发现的已知物种(H. (V.) acerata Lévi, 1993)。提供了所有已知 Hamacantha(Vomerula)物种的表格比较,使该亚属的已知物种数量达到 26 种。这也是该属在澳大利亚专属经济区的首次记录。
