Admete frigida Rochebrune & Mabille, 1885: 104 .

Admete frigida Rochebrune & Mabille – 1889: H.69, pl. 4, figs. 2.

Not Admete frigida Rochebrune & Mabille, 1891 [sic] – Forcelli (2000: 106, text-fig.).

Admete frigida Rochebrune & Mabille, 1885 – Hemmen (2007: 143, text-figs.); in part.

Locality: “ Terre de Feu.”

Remarks: Rochebrune & Mabille in 1889 did not reference their 1885 description.

Some authors have suggested that this may be a synonym of Admete schythei (Philippi, 1856) which was never illustrated. Forcelli (2000) gave color illustrations of most species, but they are not captioned. The figures are placed immediately below the discussion of the species. At the top of his page 107 there is a figure immediately following the discussion of Admete frigida but is a different species, unknown me. The shell figured may be the same specimen figured by Castellanos & Landoni (1992: pl. 3, fig. 20) as A. cf. australis (Philippi, 1856 [sic; =1855]) with “ C. schythei? Phil., 1856 ” in synonymy. Forcelli’s discussion of Admete schythei (Philippi, 1856 [sic; = 1855]) on page 106 is followed by a figure of what appears to be Admete frigida Rochebrune & Mabille. Hemmen (2007) copied and enlarged Rochebrune & Mabille’s figures of Admete frigida but captioned them as “From Forcelli (2000) after Rochebrune & Mabille (1889).” Hemmen’s second figure of “ Admete frigida ” is the copy from Forcelli.
