Familia: Bothriembryontidae
Genus: Bothriembryon
Name
Bothriembryon serpentinus Iredale, 1939 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bothriembryon serpentinus Iredale 1939[1]: 22, pl. 2 fig. 10; Wells 1977[2]: 55; B.J. Smith 1992[3]: 104.
Type locality
[Western Australia] “Serpentine Falls, Darling Range”.
Label
“Serpentine Falls / WA”.
Dimensions
“28 mm. in length and 16 mm. in breadth”; figured specimen H 27.5, D 15.4, W 5.2.
Type material
AM C100724, syntype; AM C127679, six syntypes; WAM S15107, 50 syntypes, Glauert leg., 1.vi.1927.
Remarks
The original description was based on “A large series of shells”. Smith (1992)[3] mentioned 60 paratypes in the WAM collection. He synonimized this taxon with Bothriembryon indutus (Menke, 1843). We consider Bothriembryon serpentinus a distinct taxon, but this needs confirmation by anatomical and molecular research.
Current systematic position
Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon serpentinus Iredale, 1939.
