Abstract
Two new species of pinwheel snails, Chordaropa garethseetoi sp. nov. and C. oxleyana sp. nov. are described from differing Brisbane City bushland habitats based on aspects of shell morphology. Their significance as members of a land snail fauna surviving in an altered city landscape is discussed.
