Mousson, 1873. Journal de Conchyliologie, 21: 110, pl. 7, fig. 1.
Type material: Syntypes, ZMZ 500890 (8), ZMZ 500934 (2) (dry shell material).
Label details: ‘Helic. ultimus Mss. 34, Sunday I. (Graeffe 71)’, ‘Helic. ultimus Mss. 34, Sunday I. (Graeffe 72)’, in Mousson’s handwriting.
Type locality: ‘Sunday Island’ ( Mousson 1873: 110).
Previous illustrations of type material: Mousson (1873: pl. 7, fig. 1); Tryon (1885 [from Mousson 1873]: pl. 35, figs. 9, 10).
Remarks: The type material was sent to the Museum Godeffroy in Hamburg by the naturalist Dr. Edouard Graeffe, but when it was collected, and by whom, was not stated ( Mousson 1873: 110). Vitrina kermadeensis Smith, 1873 and Vitrina ultima Mousson, 1873 are conspecific, according to Iredale (1913). Smith’s description was published on 1 April 1873 (see Evenhuis 2003: 26), and Mousson’s on 18 April 1873 ( Fischer-Piette 1937: 90), so Smith’s name has priority, as noted by Iredale (1913: 364).
Current Taxonomy: Treated as a subjective junior synonym of Vitrina kermadecensis E. A. Smith, 1873 by Iredale (1913: 364).
