Abstract
ABSTRACT A new tateid genus, Ngalidrobia n. gen., containing six new species, is described from groundwater sampled from wells in the Ngalia Basin in the Northern Territory, Australia. The new species differ in their shell morphology which ranges from near planispiral to conical. Of these species, two live in sympatry in one location, the remainder being allopatric. Of the named tateid genera, Ngalidrobia is, on the basis of molecular results using three partial sequences (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, and 16S and 28S ribosomal RNA), most closely related to Trochidrobia from artesian springs in northern South Australia.
