Amphidromus begini (Morlet, 1886)

Bulimus begini Morlet, 1886: 74.

Type locality.

Plateau de Stang-Trang, Cambodge [Stung Treng Plateau, Cambodia].

Type material.

Lectotype (designated by Fischer-Piette 1950: 158) MNHN-IM 2000-1832, paralectotype NHMUK 1896.6.13.16 (1S juvenile, Fig. 4D).

Remarks.

The original description does not include an illustration, however Morlet (1889: 177, 178, pl. 6, fig. 4) re-published the description and included illustrations of the species. Fischer-Piette (1950: 158) cited a specimen in the Muséum National ďHistoire Naturelle, Paris collections as the "holotype, 25 mm" which we consider an inadvertent lectotype designation ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.5). The NHM specimen is from the H. Fulton collection ex. Dautzenberg and ex. Morlet and gives “Cambodia” as the collection locality. It is considered to be a paralectotype.
