Abstract
    Sharp rnorphological discontinuities have been evidenced between conspecific, close neighbouring Oliva populations in Hansa Bay (Papua New Guinea). Taxonornic irnplications are discussed. The broad notion of syrnpatry usually applied in the genus Oliva should be replaced by that of syntopy.
