Satsuma formosensis (Pfeiffer, 1866) View in CoL Figure 4A

Helix formosensis Pfeiffer, 1866: 829, pl. 46 fig. 7. [1865] (Apr. 1866).

Satsuma formosensis , Richardson 1985: 270.

Type locality.

Formosa [Taiwan] (Swinhoe).

Material examined.

Lectotype. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe, from collection of H. Cuming (NHMUK 20040578), new designation, 17 × 26 mm, whorls 6.

Remarks.

Pfeiffer (1866) mentioned that the shell height is 12-13 mm, but only one specimen is found in the NHM. More than one specimen was probably examined by Pfeiffer. Therefore, this is designated as a lectotype instead of a holotype.
