Pupa moretonensis Cox, Monograph of Australian Land 

 Shells, 1868, p. 81, pi. 14, f. 21, 21a. 



Cox's figures are copied. His description indicates a shell 

 having four (five) teeth in cruciform arrangement: an angulo- 

 parietal, a "longer and thicker" lower palatal, a columellar, 

 which from the description may be presumed to be of the 

 horizontal type, and a small upper palatal. No infraparietal 

 or basal is mentioned. A broad, thick parietal callous makes 

 the peristome continuous. The size assigned, length 2.75, 

 diam. 1.5 mm., is about that of G. pediculus (rossiteri), which, 

 however, has a basal fold. 



Until further collections are made in the type locality, the 

 status of G. moretonensis will remain uncertain. None of 

 Cox's specimens are known to be extant, and Mr. Hedley re- 

 gards it as a lost species. It has been reported as Vertigo 

 moretonensis Cox by Tryon, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensland, v, 

 1888, p. 136, from Mundoolun, Albert River, collected by A. 

 J. Norton.
