Etrema mirabilis Powell, 1944 View in CoL

Etrema mirabilis Powell, 1944: 54 View in CoL , pl. 5, fig. 5.

Distribution. Gippsland Basin: Jemmys Point Formation (type). Age : late Miocene.

Remarks. The type specimen, labelled CR, does not come from Curdies River as stated by Powell. It was one of several specimens stolen from various collections by H. J. Finlay during a visit to Australia. Specimens from the Dennant Collection were loaned by the National Museum of Victoria to F. A. Singleton for a revision of the turrids and many specimens labelled Gippsland Lakes, and this specimen labelled CR, were taken. CR stands for Christopher Ritchie, a farmer, who had a property near Lakes Entrance on the Mississippi Creek from which John Dennant collected specimens.
