Fannia pusio is not listed on ALA, which I find strange because I gather it has global occurrence. Could it be listed under another name?

It may not have been recorded. The regional catalog,
http://hbs.bishop...iidae.html, lists
pusio from many Pacific islands but not Australia. It gives
glabella Bezzi as a regional synonym.

Thanks John. glabella is not listed either. Looks like it simply hasn't been recorded.
