REMARKS

None of the shells corresponds precisely to the dimensions given in the original description, and the malleations that are mentioned in the description are not obvious. However, the shell on which “type” is written corresponds to the illustration in the subsequent monograph/atlas (Fischer & Crosse 1890: pl. 48, figs 10, 10a), and we here select it as the lectotype to stabilise the name.
