of the genus Scyphoproctus Gravier. Scyphoproctus djiboutiensis Gravier has been
recorded from the Bay of Djibouti (Gravier, 1904), the Red Sea (Gravier, 1906)
and the Gulf of Mannar, India (Fauvel, 1930, 1953); S.gravieri Okuda was described
from a single posterior bit comprising of seven setigerous segments and a
pygidium collected at Kakihana, Okinawa (Okuda, 1940); S.oculatus Reish was
taken in Newport Bay on the Southern California (Reish, 1959) and S. platyproctus
Jones obtained from a sandy bottom off the Florida coast at Panama City, Bay
County (Jones, 1961).
