Type material.

Lectotype (design. nov.) NHMUK 1903.7.1.3598/1 ( Sutcharit et al. 2019: fig. 10j). Paralectotypes NHMUK 1903.7.1.3598/2-3 (2 shells; Sutcharit et al. 2019: fig. 10k) from Putao, Upper Burma.

Godwin-Austen (1915) explicitly stated that three specimens of this taxon were obtained but did not specify the specimen lot number to which these specimens belong. Without any explicit holotype designation or equivalent expression, these three specimens in lot NHMUK 1903.7.1.3598 labelled as “Type” in Godwin-Austen’s handwriting are syntypes. The specimen figured in Sutcharit et al. (2019: fig. 10j) that is closest to the given shell measurements and figured in the original description is hereby designated as the lectotype (NHMUK 1903.7.1.3598/1) to stabilize the name.
