Abstract
Abstract Cassidaria sulcata Hutton, briefly described in 1873 from the Pliocene of Kaniere, New Zealand, is redescribed from the holotype and topotypes and attributed to the genus Galeoocorys Kuroda and Habe. Related forms are recorded from the Kapitean Stage (uppermost Miocene) of the same Westland district, and one is described as G. allani n.sp. Living Galeoocorys inhabit archibenthal and abyssal seas, but the New Zealand fossil species apparently lived at considerably shallower depths.
