Deflandrea leptodermata Cookson and Eisenack, 1965
Tax. sr. synonym of Deflandrea micropoda Cookson and Eisenack, 1974, according to Stover and Evitt, 1978.
Holotype: Cookson and Eisenack, 1965, pl.11, fig.6
Locus typicus: Brown"s Creek, SW Victoria, Australia
Stratum typicum: Late Eocene
Original description: Cookson and Eisenack, 1965, p. 121-122
Description: Shell untabulated, longer than broad with strongly convex sides, a short blunt apical horn and two short, broad, slightly pointed antapical horns. Girdle usually not indicated.

In the specimen shown in Pl. 11, fig. 7 the basal suture of the archeopyle is evident as a fine line crossing the upper part of the shell at a right angle.
