Terebra (Abretia) antarctica Smith, 1873

Smith, 1873: 270.

Type locality: ‘ Antarctic region’.

Label locality: No locality stated.

Presented: The Admiralty.

Type material: 4 syntypes NHMUK 1979142.

Remarks: The specimen selected as ‘holotype’ by Cernohorsky (1969: 212) and by Bratcher & Cernohorsky (1987: 114), NHMUK 1880.7.2.5, is from a different source and locality ( Justice Gillies, New Zealand) than the original publication, and for that reason is not a type specimen. Therefore that type selection is invalid.
