Label.

"El Catamaja near Loxa". M.C. label style IV.

Dimensions.

"Long 28, diam. 13 ´´´ [H 61.0, D 28.3 mm]". Figured specimen H 57.0, D 30.0, W 4.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975126, one syntype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but said the material was in "Sammlung des Hrn. Hugh Cuming". Given the context of the publication, it is here assumed that the dimensions were given in German lines (1 line = 2.18 mm); Pfeiffer (1848b) quoted "Long. 57, diam. 26 mill.", which shell height concurs with our measurement given above. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 376).

Current systematic position.

Megaspiridae , Thaumastus hartwegi (Pfeiffer in Philippi, 1846).
