Amphidromus sinistralis rosea Fulton, 1896

Amphidromus sinistralis var. rosea Fulton, 1896a: 76.

Type locality.

Nördliches Celebes [Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 19601545/1 (Fig. 13H; H=40.1 mm, W=19.2 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 19601545/2-3 (2S, Fig. 13I).

Remarks.

Fulton attributed the authorship to von Martens. However, von Martens (1867: 356, pl. 21, fig. 2c) only describe this varietal form with a letter " Bulimus sinistralis var. C." which is not a valid name ( ICZN 1999: Art. 11.9). Therefore, Fulton (1896a: 76) is the sole author of this species.

The NHM holds a lot with Fulton’s handwritten labels bearing the taxon and type locality. The specimen that corresponds most closely with the original description is designated as the lectotype.
