Hedley, 1906, p. 523:
- "Alaba (Styliferina) sulcata Watson.
- This species was represented in the "Challenger" collection by a single shell dredged in six fathoms off Cape York, Queensland. Concerning it Dr. Watson remarked, "I do not feel at all certain that this is a Styliferina; it may be only a young shell of some other genus." These doubts were well founded, for a series I dredged last year off the Capricorn Islands, Queensland, prove Watson's species to be the apex of Stromhus campbelli Gray. It is noteworthy that the same haul which gave Watson his Alaba sulcata included Strombus campbelli in the adult stage."
