Type locality.

Tamsui, Formosa [Danshui, New Taipei City] (Swinhoe).

Material examined.

Lectotype of Pupinella swinhoei . Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.15/1), new designation, 13 × 5.5 mm, whorls 7. (Figure 1G).

Paralectotypes of Pupinella swinhoei . Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.15/2-3, 2 shells). Formosa, from collection of H. Adams (NHMUK 1878.1.28.58, 3 shells)

Remarks.

Adams (1866) described the locality of Platyrhaphe swinhoei as Tamsui, Formosa, but the original label has only "Formosa". The largest specimen corresponds well in size with the measurements of Adams (1866). It is here selected as the lectotype for the stabilization of the name ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74).
