Remarks.

The two lots originating from the Cuming collection are considered possible syntypes. One specimen from lot 20100648 corresponds to Reeve’s figure. There is one additional specimen (NHMUK 1837.4.8.33.576), which according to the registration book, was "purchased from Mr. Eling, Deptford, from Capt Fitzroy’s vessel"; this is not considered as type material but may have been collected by Darwin on his voyage with the ‘Beagle’.
