Amphidromus sinensis vicaria Fulton, 1896

Amphidromus sinensis var. vicaria Fulton, 1896a: 80.

Type locality.

Pegu [Bago, northeast of Yangoon, Myanmar]; Chittagong [in Bangladesh].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 1888.12.4.975 (Fig. 15H; H=30.3 mm, W=16.7 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 1888.12.4.971-974 (4S, Fig. 15I), NHMUK 1888.12.4.976-979 (4S) from Pegu; SMF 7639 (1S), SMF 175769 (2S) from Chittagong.

Remarks.

Fulton clearly stated in the original description that the type series was composed of two lots from Pegu, and Chittagong. No specimens from Chittagong were located in the NHM collections. However, the specimen that most closely matched with the original description in Fulton (1896a: 80) and is figured in Hanley and Theobald (1876: pl. 21, fig. 5) is designated here as the lectotype, NHMUK 1888.12.4.975. The type locality of these taxa is here restricted to “Pegu”, the locality of the lectotype.
