Examination of the syntypes of Oratosquilla indica (Hansen) and Clorida verrucosa (Hansen), originally described from materials collected by the “Siboga” Expedition, has revealed that each of these species is based on two distinct species. A new genus is erected for O. indica and two previously undescribed species. One of the syntypes of C. verrucosa is identified with C. merguiensis (Tiwari and Biswas, 1952).
