Carnarvoncochlea exigua ( Ponder & Clark, 1990)

Jardinella exigua Ponder & Clark, 1990: 338 , figs. 6E, 9B, 27A–E, 28A–C, 29A, F, 30A, B.

Remarks. The original material was collected in small springs flowing from the hillside ca 1.2 km NE and 2.5 km NW of Dooloogarah HS, S of Carnarvon Gorge NP.

Additional material has been collected from springs on nearby Carnarvon Station ( Fig. 1 ), by W. Ponder and party, 18 Apr 2007, namely Fig Tree Spring, 24° 56' 38" S, 147° 57' 30" E, (C.488584, C.488266), Ti Tree Spring, 24° 47' 13" S, 147° 40' 41" E (C.488585), Long Gully Spring, 24° 47' 12" S, 147° 40' 21" E (C.488583), and Orange Tree Spring, 24° 46' 44" S, 147° 39' 33" E (C.488586, C.488267). This material closely resembles the original material in shell characters but has not been examined anatomically.

Figures

FIGURE 1. Map of the spring supergroups associated with the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) in Queensland, showing the main non-town locations mentioned in the text (squares) and some of the towns in the area (ovals). The pale grey shading is the discharge part of the GAB, the dark grey the recharge part. The inset map of Australia shows the area illustrated. The approximate location of Conondale is indicated by a triangle and Nundle by a star. The spring supergroups are outlined with dotted lines and are as follows: A, Mulligan River; B, Springvale; C, Flinders River; D, Hughenden; E, Barcaldine (see inset at upper right for details); F, Springsure; G, Eulo.
