Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 20130117/1 ( Fig. 8A; D =28.6 mm, H=25.4 mm, W=5), paralectotypes NHMUK 20130117/2-3 (2 shells; Fig. 8B; D =27.4 mm, H=25.1 mm, W=5; D=29.7 mm, H=25.7 mm, W=5).

Remarks.

The original description by Pfeiffer did not give an illustration of the species or a collection locality. Pfeiffer (1854a: 354, pl. 45, figs 9, 10) re-published the description and figured the species. Three shells from Cuming’s collection have an original Pfeiffer label giving the species name and a collection locality of “Arva”, that could perhaps be in Pfeiffer’s handwriting, although a later label states: “Arva’’ added to label not by Pfeiffer? In addition there is a separate label with the specimens, also possibly in Pfeiffer’s handwriting, stating: 'Prame Pegu’. The figured shell from Pfeiffer (1854a: pl. 45, figs 9, 10) with an “x” written in the aperture is here designated as the lectotype but the type locality remains uncertain.
