Abstract
A new morphologically distinct species of cowry (family Cypraeidae Rafinesque, 1815) is described from the Pliocene of Flinders Island, Tasmania. Diagnostic features of Umbilia furneauxensis n. sp. include relatively small size (<60 mm), extension of apertural dentition to at least midway on the ventrum and labrum, and heavily callused margins with numerous shallow depressions forming a dimpled surface that may extend on to the base. It is the third Umbilia species to be recognised from the Australian Pliocene.
