Cyclophorus cucullata (Gould, 1856)

Cyclostoma cucullata Gould, 1856: 14.

Cyclophorus cucullatus - Reeve 1861: sp.44. Kobelt 1902: 127. Johnson 1969: 63.

Type locality.

Mergui Archipelago [Myanmar].

Type material.

Lectotype MCZ 169108, paralectotypes MCZ 169109 (1 shell) and NHMUK 20130116 (2 shells; Fig. 6A, B; D =27.2 mm, H=20.1 mm, W=5; D=26.5 mm, H=21.8 mm, W=5).

Remarks.

Johnson (1964: 63) stated "holotype, MCZ 169108", which we consider to be a valid inadvertent lectotype designation ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.5). Pfeiffer (1858: 44) provided the description of this species based on Cuming collection material which he listed as " Cyclostoma cucullata Gould, MS" indicating that specimens under the manuscript name were presented to Cuming by Gould. In addition, Johnson (1964) confirms Gould met Cuming around 1857 leaving some specimens of his new species with Cuming. Later, Reeve (1861: sp. 44) re-published Pfeiffer’s description, and included illustrations of a specimen from the Cuming collection. There are two specimens in the NHM, one is the shell figured in Reeve (1861: sp. 44), with an original label stating “type”, and the locality is given as "Mergui Archipelago" Therefore, the NHM specimens received from Gould forms part of the type series and are paralectotypes.
