Remarks.

According to Iredale (1939) the published locality was in error and should read "Stirling Range". The taxon forms part of an ill-defined species complex. The material corresponds to the original figures of Angas. The shell pictured in the right-hand view is here selected lectotype (design. n.). The specimens are not full-grown.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon brazieri (Angas, 1871).
