Type locality.

Cochinchina [Saigon, Vietnam].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 1893.2.4.499 ( Fig. 13B; D =38.2 mm, H=23.7 mm, W=5), paralectotype NHMUK 1893.2.4.500 (1 shell; Fig. 13C; D =35.2 mm, H=22.1 mm, W=5).

Remarks.

The original description did not include an illustration and only one set of shell measurements was given. There are two specimens in the NHM collections with an original label stating “Type” and giving the reference of the original description. The shell that most closely matches with the measurement in the original description and with an “x” written in the aperture is here designated as the lectotype.
