Mitrella oxleyi ( Tenison Woods, 1876) View in CoL comb. nov.

Columbella oxleyi Tenison Woods, 1876: 111 View in CoL .— May, 1919: 72, pl. 11, fig. 17.

Columbella cainozoica Tenison Woods, 1876: 110 View in CoL .— May, 1919: 72, pl. 11, fig. 16.

Distribution. Bass Basin: Freestone Cove Sandstone (type). Age : early Miocene.

Remarks. May (1919) regarded these two species as conspecific. Though C. cainozoica has page priority, the type specimen is a juvenile broken specimen, so C. oxleyi is chosen as the senior synonym as the type is a complete adult specimen.
