Type material.

Remarks.

No material of this species was found. In the NHMUK-copy of the ”Voyage...” a note on p. 309 states "No examples of this sp. could be traced in d’O. colln in Sept. 1958. S.P. Dance". Also, in Gray (1854) there is no ”B.M.” following the name, so it may safely assumed that type material of this taxon never came to London. The only extant material is thus the material in the Paris museum. As this is an incomplete specimen, the original figures by d’Orbigny are here copied.

Current systematic position.
