Penis long, slender, narrowing distally, internally with fine, numerous pustules arranged in longitudinal rows; 40% of penis contained in penial tunica. Epiphallus slightly longer than penis; epiphallus enters penis through a very short, broad verge, pointed at tip; epiphallus 2 longer than epiphallus 1; epiphallic caecum of moderate length; flagellum moderately long, slender.

Remarks

Stanisicarion wolvi (referred to above as ‘ Helicarionidae sp. Mt Wolvi’) is known only from Mt Wolvi near Gympie in southeastern Qld (fig. 33). It is closely related to S. aquila , which is not recorded from Mt Wolvi but is found only a short distance to the south in Kenilworth. However, S. wolvi is larger than S. aquila and while it is only known from preserved specimens, appears to differ in its uniform grey colouration with fewer spots on the shell lappets. Stanisicarion wolvi was found buried in the soil under rocks in notophyll vine thicket.
