Pupina (Tylotoechus) vescoi - Kobelt 1902: 325, Pulo-Condor [Con Dao Island, Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Vietnam].

Type material examined.

Syntypes NHMUK 1893.2.4.767-769 (3 shells; Figs 29E , 33F ) from Cochin China.

Other material examined.

SMF 109956/1 (1 shell; Figs 29F , 34A ) from Cochin China.

Diagnosis.

Shell ovate-fusiform; last whorl ca. three quarters of shell height. Apertural lip slightly thickened and slightly expanded; apertural lip when observed from lateral view almost straight. Parietal tooth small, indistinct; columellar tooth fin-shaped, not covering slit-like anterior canal.

Differential diagnosis.

Pupina vescoi is most similar to P. mouhoti and P. siamensis , but differs in having a larger shell with a higher spire, a smaller, indistinct parietal tooth, and a fin-shaped columellar tooth not covering a slit-like anterior canal.

Distribution.

South Vietnam ( Fischer and Dautzenberg 1904).
