Label.

”Peru”. M.C. label style IV.

Dimensions.

"long. 1 1/5, lat. 4/5 poll." [H 30.4, D 20.2 mm]; figured specimen herein H 28.8, D 13.0, W 6.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975551, five possible syntypes; 1842.5.10.135-138, four + two possible syntypes (see remarks) (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Broderip described his taxon from the Cuming collection, but did not specify on how many specimens his description was based. Two lots are considered possible syntypes. Lot 1842.5.10.135-138 contains four specimens, with a note by FGN[aggs] that labels had been stuffed inside; also two specimens, which were apparently glued upon the same cardboard, have been added to this lot. Lot 1975551 has been used for the figure in Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 18 figs 103a-b, and has also a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. Both lots are labelled ”Peru”. It is unclear upon which shells the record of ”Columbia” in Reeve (1848 [1848-1850]) is based. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).
