Alycaeus hungerfordianus Nevill, 1881: 149-150.

Chamalycaeus hungerfordianus , Kuroda 1941: 81.

Type locality.

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

Material examined.

Possible syntypes: Tamsui, Formosa, from collection of Hungerford (NHMUK 1891.3.17.790-791, 2 shells), 2.2-2.5 × 3.6-3.8 mm, whorls 3.75. Also in SMF ( Zilch 1957).

Remarks.

It is possible that further syntypes may be housed in the Indian Museum, Kolkata (Calcutta), India, where Nevill worked. Due to the lack of definitive evidence that the two specimens in the NHM were actually examined by Nevill, no lectotype designation has been made in the present article.
