Syntype NHMUK 1891.3.17.34 (1 shell; Fig. 7C).

Remarks.

The original description gave the measurements for only one shell and did not include an illustration. The NHM collections contain a lot of one specimen from the R Hungerford collection with an original label stating “Type” and giving the collection locality as “Borneo”. This specimen matches well with the original description and shell dimensions given.
