Type material.

Syntype NHMUK 20170362 (1 shell; Fig. 12A).

Remarks.

The original description did not include an illustration and only one set of shell measurements was given. Pfeiffer (1861) stated that this taxon was described from a specimen collected by AR Wallace in the Cuming collection. Later Reeve (1863) re-published the description and figured a specimen from the Cuming collection. The NHM collections contain a lot consisting of only one specimen from the Cuming collection with a label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting stating the species name and collection locality, however this has been subsequently overwritten. This shell matches well with the measurements given in the original description and the illustration in Reeve (1863).
