Remarks.

Godwin-Austen’s description was based on five specimen lots with figures of shells from different lots provided in the original description. Three lots were listed as being housed in the NHM, and two lots in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. Each of the three NHM has original labels in Godwin-Austen’s handwriting stating species name, collection locality and catalogue numbers. The figured specimen from the lot 1903.7.1.3579 labelled “cotype” is here designated as the lectotype.
