MATERIAL EXAMINED. — China. Sichuan, Mianyang Shi, Jiangy- ou Shi, Wudu Zhen , Guanwushan Forest Farm ; 31°56’38.8”N, 104°44’1.1”E; 1590 m; A. Hunyadi & M. Szekeres leg.; 21 -22. VI.2015; coll. HA; 1 adult + 2 juvenile shells ( Coccoglypta cf. leprosula n. comb., Figures 6 I-L) .

TYPE LOCALITY. — “Tchen K’eou” ( Chengkou , Chongqing Province).

REMARKS

Johnson (1973) did not mention type specimens in American museums, and we could not contact the Beijing Natural History Museum, where some of Heude’s types are deposited. Therefore, we rely on the original description only. Accordingly, the shell is 26 mm wide, narrowly umbilicated, and the sculpture is finely tuberculated, as in Coccoglypta .

The specimen we examined matches the original description, but the identification is certainly doubtful. It was collected c. 370 km west from the type locality of “ Satsuma ” leprosula . However, it must be kept in mind that the type locality is just a rough estimate, Heude received specimens from other missionaries who collected shells during their travels across large geographic areas.
