Type specimen.
Holotype NHMUK 1903.7. 1.3200 [re-registered in error as 1985219] (Fig. 14 G View Figure 14 ) collected by Limborg ex. Godwin-Austen collection from Tenasserim .
Diagnosis.
Shell elongate, turreted and regularly attenuated; apex rounded; subsequent whorls with fine and equally spaced radial ridges throughout. Suture impressed and whorls flattened. Aperture broadly ovate; columella strong, concave, and truncated.
Distribution.
This species is known only from the type locality and is likely endemic to that region.
Remarks.
Godwin-Austen (1920) clearly states that this taxon was described based on only a single specimen collected by O. Limborg. The original description included only a single set of shell measurements but was without illustration. The NHMUK collections contain the type specimen lot, NHMUK 1903.7. 1.3200 ex. Godwin-Austen ex. O. Limborg consisting of a single shell with an original label stating ‘ Type’. Therefore, we considered this shell as the holotype fixed by monotypy.
