TYPE LOCALITY. — Tulane University locality TU546, Chipola Formation (Burdigalian), Tenmile Creek, Florida, United States.

TYPE MATERIAL. — Bursa (Bufonariella) chipolana , holotype (UF 73199), figured paratype (USNM 647108), from TU547, west bank Chipola River 600 m upstream from Fourmile Creek, Calhoun Co. (specimen figured by Vokes 1973: text-figs 2a-b, refigured in good quality by Beu 2010: pl. 1, figs 6, 7); figured paratype (UF 73200), from TU951, Tenmile Creek, Calhoun Co .; nine further paratypes from localities on or near the Chipola River listed by Schmelz (1997) .

GEOGRAPHIC AND STRATIGRAPHIC OCCURRENCE. — Aquitanobursa chipolana n. comb. is recorded only from the Chipola Formation (Burdigalian) on and near the Chipola River, Calhoun Co., Florida, United States.

REMARKS

Aquitanobursa chipolana n. comb. seems to have a slightly greater number of primary cords than other species referred to Aquitanobursa n. gen. This species possibly belongs in another genus, for which a new name needs to be created.
