Type: article
Abstract: A new species of cowrie in the genus Erronea (Ipserronea) is described from the muddy coastal estuaries of King Sound, Western Australia, at the mouth of the Fitzroy River. The new cowrie, here named Erronea (Ipserronea) garyi n. sp., is the smallest-known member of its subgenus and inhabits oyster and Pinna beds on intertidal mud flats adjacent to mangrove jungles and river inlets. This new mudflat-dwelling dwarf cowrie is the fifth-known species in the subgenus Ipserronea
