Figured specimen: Queensland , Carnarvon NP, Carnarvon Gorge, small creek on side of track emerging from N side of gorge, 25° 02' 37" S , 148° 12' 15" E , on leaves, dead ferns and roots etc., W.F. Ponder & C. Lydeard, 7 May 2001 , C.479955. Other material examined: Same data, C.400126, 20+; QM MO85772 , 5 . Shell ( Fig. 21A, B ). Ovate, spire outline moderately convex, normally coiled, transparent. Length 2.1–2.7 mm (mean 2.4 mm ), width 1.9–2.3 mm (mean 2.1 mm ). Protoconch of about 1.3–1.4 whorls, sometimes a few very weak irregular transverse folds near suture on first half whorl, very weak, minute pits over whole surface; one specimen with few spiral lines near outer edge. Teleoconch whorls moderately convex, evenly rounded, total number 3.7–4.0 (mean 3.9). Umbilicus moderately wide. Aperture ovate or pyriform, inner lip narrow, thin or medium, slightly separated along whole length of parietal wall, outer lip thin or medium. Periostracum very thin and inconspicuous, white or pale yellow. Operculum ( Fig. 21 C–E). Transparent, yellow-brown, flat. Inner side lacking white smear, simple or with few very weak protuberances ( Fig. 21D, E ). FIGURE 21. Shell and operculum of Carnarvoncochlea cf. carnarvonensis (Ponder & Clark, 1990) . A. Shell (C.479955). B. Protoconch. C–E. Operculum, outer (C), and inner (D, E) sides (C.400126). Head-foot and external body. Snout, tentacles, dorsal and lateral foot and opercular lobes unpigmented, neck unpigmented or pigmented, mantle roof and visceral coil unpigmented or weakly pigmented. Mantle cavity. Ctenidium well-developed, filaments 17–20, broadly triangular, apex right edge. Osphradium narrowly oval, towards posterior end of ctenidium, length relative to gill 0.25–0.31. Hypobranchial gland not distinguishable (absent). Rectum with U-shaped bend, faecal pellets longitudinally orientated, anus at or very near mantle collar. Kidney half or more in roof of mantle cavity. Renal gland longitudinal, or transverse. Pericardium half or more in roof of mantle cavity, overlapping posterior end of ctenidium. Radula ( Fig. 22 ). Central teeth with cusp formula 4+1+4, basal cusps 2+2; median cusp sharp, about twice as long as adjacent cusps. Lateral teeth with cusp formula 2–3+1+2 (–3), main cusp blunt to pointed, about twice as long as adjacent cusps. Inner marginal teeth with about 17–19 cusps. Outer marginal teeth with about 22–24 cusps. FIGURE 22. Radula of Carnarvoncochlea cf. carnarvonensis (Ponder & Clark, 1990) (C.400126). A. Detail of central teeth. B.

Ellipse p: 0.6827. Female reproductive system ( Fig. 23C, D ). Ovary simple sac or weakly lobed. Renal oviduct thick, forming simple tight near vertical U-shaped fold. Seminal receptacle near anterior edge of bursa, oval, duct intermediate; orientated sperm also located in renal oviduct and/or bursa duct. Bursa copulatrix behind albumen gland, elongately-oval or triangular, shorter than albumen gland, bursal duct enters bursa mid anteriorly or anteroventrally, bursal duct joins coiled oviduct little behind posterior mantle cavity wall. Albumen gland partly in mantle cavity. Capsule gland with two distinct glandular zones, medium thickness in cross section, markedly indented by rectum. Anterior vestibule large, opening subterminal, intermediate in size, no associated gutter. Male reproductive system ( Fig. 23A, B ). Prostate gland mostly in mantle roof, oval, medium in cross section. Posterior pallial vas deferens coiled, anteriorly coiled. Penis towards middle of head, intermediate, distal end narrow, blunt, terminal papilla small. Distribution and habitat. This material was found in a small stream on the north side of the main Carnarvon Gorge ( Fig. 1 ). Remarks. The shell of this material differs from typical C. carnarvonensis in its slightly larger size (up to 2.7 mm in length compared with a maximum of 2.5 mm in the type material of C. carnarvonensis and 1.7 mm in C. exigua ) and in its slightly broader shape. There is also a greater separation of the inner lip from the parietal wall than in other material. These differences are not sufficient to recognise more than one species, although a more detailed analysis of the populations in the Carnarvon Gorge area may possibly reveal that more than one species can be recognised. A discriminant function analysis identified 98% of the specimens of this form correctly (Wilks’s Lambda 0.049 p<0.000) ( Fig. 24 ). One specimen of C. carnarvonensis was misidentified as C. cf. carnarvonensis and one of C. cf. carnarvonensis was misidentified as C. carnarvonensis while all C. exigua were correctly identified.
