Dolicheulota formosensis , Pilsbry and Hirase 1906: 735.

Type locality.

Tamsui Mountains, Formosa [Danshui, New Taipei City] (Swinhoe).

Material examined.

Lectotype. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.1/1), new designation, 55.4 × 24 mm, whorls 8.

Paralectotypes. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.1/2-3, 2 shells).

Remarks.

Adams (1866) described the locality as Tamsui Mountains, Formosa, but the original label has only "Formosa". The largest specimen corresponding well in size with the measurements of H. Adams (1866) is designated as the lectotype for the stabilization of the name ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74).
