The charopid genus Oreokera is shown to be an invalidly introduced taxon. It is herein formally validated and redefined. The genus contains two species found only on the summits of the high mountains of north-east Queensland. The type species, Oreokera cumulus (Odhner, 1917) is redescribed and refigured on the basis of newly dissected topotypic material. A new species, Oreokera nimbus from Thornton Peak, is figured and described. Oreokera is identified as a primitive taxon among the Charopidae by the absence of a closed secondary ureter in either O. cumulus or O. nimbus. The relationships of the genus are discussed and some comments made on its biogeographic status.

Summary The streptaxid, Culella (Huttonella) bicolor (Hutton) is recorded from Australia for the first time. Th is species has been spread widely through tropical areas of the world by commerce. The implications of its presence in Australia are briefly discussed. A description of the shell together with figures are presented.

Summary A critical examination of the species Turrisitala parramattensis (Cox), an euconulid land snail found in the Sydney region of N.S.W., revealed that this species is identical with the holarctic species Euconulus (E.) fulvus (Muller). This discovery represents the first record of E. fulvus from New South Wales. The only previous record of E. fulvus from Australia was from the Cann River district, Victoria (Gabriel, 1928). A description and a figure of E. fulvus based on the New South Wales material are given.
