L. T. Groves 1990 | The new species [Eocypraea (Eocypraea) louellae] is most similar to Eocypraea newboldi (FORBES, 1846:134, pi. 12, fig. 21) from Upper Cretaceous (Turonian through Santonian), Trichinopoly Group, southern India, but differs from the latter by its highly inflated posterior columella, coarser denticulation, less sinuous aperture, and larger size. |
