NHMUK 20110388, syntype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer (1859) stated that the material was in "Mus. Cuming". The specimens found are not accompanied by a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting, but their type status is not disputed. Simone (2006) listed the specimen as lectotype, but we are unaware of a previous lectotype designation for this taxon. His listing does not fulfill the requirements of ICZN Art. 74.7, and therefore the specimen is regarded as a syntype. The registration number quoted by him was incorrect. The type locality has not been found using modern gazetteers.

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Bahiensis longulus (Pfeiffer, 1859).
