Type material.

Syntype NHMUK 1903.7.1.3530 (1 shell; Fig. 8D).

Remarks.

Godwin-Austen’s description was not clearly based on only one specimen. The original description included an illustration and one set of measurements were given. The author stated that one lot of the type series was housed in the NHM collections. The specimen NHMUK 1903.7.1.3530 has a label in Godwin-Austen’s handwriting stating “Type” and exactly matches the measurements and illustrations given in the original description.
