Gabbia Tryon 1865

Gabbia Tryon, 1865 Type species. Gabbia australis Tryon, 1865 accepted as Gabbia vertiginosa (Frauenfeld, 1862) (type by monotypy; Australia, New South Wales). Remarks. This genus is a highly diverse genus with nearly 50 species. Most species were assigned to this genus only based on the morphology of a small globose shell with an inflated body whorl. The taxonomy of this genus needs a systematic revision using molecular methods, especially a large number of species from Australia (including the type species Gabbia vertiginosa).
