Bothriembryon kingii solidus Pilsbry, 1900 Fig. 9H

Bothriembryon kingii solidus Pilsbry 1900: 9, pl. 2 fig. 28; B.J. Smith 1992: 107.

Bothriembryon sayi (Pfeiffer); Iredale 1939: 33, pl. 2 fig. 34.

Type locality.

"Western Australia, exact habitat unknown"; restricted to Margaret River ( Iredale 1939: 33).

Label.

"Western / Australia".

Dimensions.

Not given. Figured specimen H 31.8, D 13.2, W 6.0.

Type material.

AM C100722, syntype; AM C127708, two syntypes (ex Cox coll.).

Remarks.

As it is clear that this material was seen by Pilsbry, this material is herein considered as syntypes. It is not clear whether Iredale referred to "Margaret River" as a place or as geographical feature. The latter Margaret River flows near Cape Mentelle into the Indian Ocean; Cape Freychinet-type locality of Bothriembryon sayi (Pfeiffer, 1847)-is ca. 20 km to the south.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon sayi (Pfeiffer, 1847).
