Holotype and Type Locality— LACMIP 41573.1 , LACMIP Type 13647 (Figs. 7J–L), length 12.7 mm, width 8.2 mm, height 6.9 mm. LACMIP Locality 41573 (ex CSUN Locality 1573), Crescent Formation , Doty Hills , Lewis County, Washington. The type locality of this species occurs in the lower McIntosh Formation , northern Doty Hills , Lewis County , southwestern Washington, and not, as stated in Groves (2011: p. 50) as in the Crescent For- mation. The lower McIntosh Formation is middle Eocene in age ( Squires and Goedert 1995).

Occurrence— Middle Eocene, “Transition Stage” to “Tejon Stage,” Lewis County, southwestern Washington .

Etymology— Originally named for colleague James L. (Jim) Goedert (Gig Harbor, Washington).

Description— Shell small and slightly inflated. Dor- sum highly arched with maximum height slightly pos- terior of center; maximum width nearly centered. Spire covered. Aperture wide for size Denticulation coarse with smooth interstices; outer lip with 14 teeth, inner lip with 12 teeth. Anterior canal shallow. Posterior columella area moderately inflated. Anterior ridges prominent. Poste- rior ridges slightly reduced. Posterior canal deep. Basal marginal callus moderate on outer lip; base rounded (Groves, 2011: p, 50).
