Label.

"angeblich Costarica", with a second taxon label in Strebel’s handwriting.

Type material.

ZMB 21848, holotype; Von Patten leg.

Remarks.

Strebel (1909: 35-36) mentioned two shells from ZMB with a label "Costa rica vPatten", one with a Martens’ label " zoniferus var. crossei " [which Strebel held for "ein typischer Zebra maracaibensis var. jamaicensis "]; the other was labelled " Orthalicus undatus Brug." and corresponds to the figured specimen by Strebel. As he implicitly described this taxon from one shell, this is thus the holotype.

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Orthalicus delphinus (Strebel, 1909).
