Abstract
A new species of cypraeid gastropod, Proadusta goedertorum n. sp., is reported from the middle lower Eocene (''Capay Stage'') upper part of the Crescent Formation, Thurston County, Washington. This new species was found at two localities where shallow-water marine deposits are in terbedded with rocky shoreline-forming basalt flows. Proadusta Sacco, 1894 was previously known only from the lower Eocene to lower Miocene of Europe, Myanmar (= Burma), and Indonesia.
