A Recent Caribbean Species of the Genus Neritopsis

Abstract

The writer's article regarding the first New World occurrence of the genus Neritopsis in the late lower Miocene Chipola Formation of northwestern Florida (Hoerle, 1972, p. 23) has had an interesting sequel. In early 1973 Thomas L. McGinty, of Boynton Beach, Florida, discovered the existence of a Caribbean species of Neritopsis in his collection of Recent mollusks.
