Remarks.

Chan and Tan (2008) described " abbasi " in the Occasional Molluscan Papers which does not fulfill the ICZN guidelines and could not be made available (ICZN 1999: Arts 8.6 and 11.1). However, " abbasi " was later published correctly (ICZN 1999: Art. 8) and made available in Chan and Tan (2010).

The authors stated that three specimens were housed in the NHM under this paratype lot, but only two are registered in the NHM collections (Chan and Tan 2010).
