Remarks.

Strebel (1909) based the original description on material from different sources; the ZMB specimens were apparently part of the material that is mentioned by Strebel (1909: 7) as received from "Inseln Barbados und Trinidad" through the shell dealer Umlauff. In total Strebel listed 19 specimens in his paper. The specimen figured is the largest in the lot, in which the different colour forms distinguished by Strebel are represented. The current systematic position is according to own unpublished data.

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Orthalicus undatus ( Bruguière, 1789) (syn. n.).
