Description
Summary:Terebra (Abretia) antarctica Smith, 1873 Smith, 1873: 270. Type locality: ‘Antarctic region’. Label locality: No locality stated. Presented: The Admiralty. Type material: 4 syntypes NHMUK 1979142. Remarks: The specimen selected as ‘holotype’ by Cernohorsky (1969: 212) and by Bratcher & Cernohorsky (1987: 114), NHMUK 1880.7.2.5, is from a different source and locality (Justice Gillies, New Zealand) than the original publication, and for that reason is not a type specimen. Therefore that type selection is invalid.
