Type material.

NHMUK 1868.4.3.1, three possible syntypes, ex R.F. Geale.

Remarks.

Higgins described this taxon from "several specimens" which were found (in part?) by Mr. Farris. The lot found was received from the shell dealer R.F. Geale; further data are missing. As the shells were registered at the same time of Higgins’ publication, it is possible that they were part of the original series; they are treated herein as possible syntypes. The current systematic position is according to Richardson (1995).
