Ennea ponsonbyi Burnup, 1914 Fig. 1I

Ennea ponsonbyi Burnup, 1914: 78, pl. 5, figs 67-69.

Type locality.

“Gowie’s Kloof, Grahamstown, Cape of Good Hope (Farquhar)" ( Burnup 1914: 79).

Type material.

Paratypes NMNZ M.207159 (2 shells, Grahamstown, ex H. Suter colln 5714).

Current taxonomic status.

Accepted as Gulella ponsonbyi (Burnup, 1914) ( Herbert and Kilburn 2004: 189).

Discussion.

The locality of the present specimens does not match exactly the type locality, since there is no mention of Gowie’s Kloof on the label. However, Burnup (1914: 79) stated that "all the specimens I have seen ( …) come from the same locality", so we can assume that the locality Gowie’s Kloof was likely simply omitted on the new NMNZ label. The type specimens in the NHM include the holotype (NHMUK 1914.12.19.1, Gowie’s Kloof Grahamstown, presented by Burnup) and three paratypes (NHMUK 1937.12.30.1163-1165, Grahamstown, ex. Connolly collection), all housed in a single lot.
