Abstract
ABSTRACT A new morphologically distinct species of cowry (family Cypraeidae Rafinesque, 1815) is described from the Pliocene of Flinders Island, Tasmania. Diagnostic features of Umbilia furneauxensis n. sp. include relatively small size (<60 mm), extension of apertural dentition to at least midway on the ventrum and labrum, and heavily callused margins with numerous shallow depressions forming a dimpled surface that may extend on to the base. It is the third Umbilia species to be recognised from the Australian Pliocene. ZooBank registration: http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4B6291F2-DA31-4A00-A223-268A83F480AE
期刊介绍：
Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology.
While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered.
The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
