| Abstract |
Notovoluta stricklandi sp. nov. is described based on shell morphology and is compared to other species of Notovoluta known from Western Australia. The recent discovery of N. stricklandi brings the total number of extant taxa within this Australian endemic genus to fourteen. Furthermore, the addition of this new species reinforces south-western Australia as a Notovoluta hotspot. |
