Cyclophorus appendiculatus (Pfeiffer, 1854)

Cyclostoma (Cyclophorus) appendiculatum Pfeiffer, 1854b [1852]: 61. Pfeiffer 1854a: 345, pl. 45, figs 7, 8.

Cyclophorus appendiculatus - Kobelt, 1902: 106. Kobelt 1907: 584.

Type locality.

Insulis Philippinis [Philippines].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 20130079/1 ( Fig. 3C; D =34.3 mm, H=20.1 mm, W= 4½), paralectotypes NHMUK 20130079/2-3 (2 shells, Fig. 3D; D =32.1 mm, H=19.8 mm, W= 4½ and D=34.4 mm, H=21.8 mm, W= 4½).

Remarks.

This species was described based on specimens from the Cuming collection. In the original description only one set of specimen measurements was given. In 1854, Pfeiffer (1854a: 345, pl. 45, figs 7, 8) re-described and illustrated a single specimen from the Cuming collection. There are three specimens from the Cuming collection with an original label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting stating the species name. The figured specimen in Pfeiffer (1854a) closely matches the measurements given in the original description and is here designated as the lectotype.
