Type locality.

Tamsui, Formosa [Danshui, New Taipei City] (Swinhoe)

Material examined.

Lectotype. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe, from collection of H. Cuming (NHMUK 20040587/1), new designation, 22.7 × 40.0 mm, whorls 6.25.

Paralectotypes. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe, from collection of H. Cuming (NHMUK 20040587/2-3, 2 shells).

Remarks.

Adams (1866) described the locality as Tamsui, Formosa, but the original label has only "Formosa". None of these shells exactly match with the measurements of Adams (1866). The specimen in the best condition is designated as the lectotype for the stabilization of the name ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74).
