Janella antipodarum Gray, 1853
Gray, 1853. The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, Series 2, 12: 414. Type material: Single specimen in the British Museum ( Gray & Pfeiffer, 1855: 6); seen by G.M. Barker in 1980s, but not found in NHMUK collections in 2018, and present whereabouts unknown. Cited by Barker (2018: 219) as ‘ Holotype NHMUK 45.4.18.1’, which refers to NHMUK 1845.4.18.1 from the mixed inveretebrate registers housed in the Mollusca section.
Type locality: ‘New Zealand’ ( Gray 1853: 414).
Remarks: The original description, which was reproduced by Gray (1854: 111–112), did not state where in New Zealand this species was collected, or by whom. There are no published illustrations of the type material.
Current Taxonomy: Treated as a subjective junior synonym of Limax bitentaculatus Quoy & Gaimard, 1832 by Burton (1963: 51), Powell (1979: 298), albeit without examination of type material (see Barker 2018: 219).
