Type locality.

Unknown.

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.) NHMUK 20130082/1 ( Fig. 16C, D; D =29.1 mm, H=22.5 mm, W= 4½), paralectotypes NHMUK 20130082/2-3 (2 shells; Fig. 16D, D =30.0 mm, H=23.1 mm, W= 4½; D=30.4 mm, H=20.8 mm, W= 4½).

Remarks.

This species was described based on specimens from the Cuming collection. Pfeiffer (1854a: pl. 45, figs 13, 14.) re-published the description and figured this species. The NHM collections contain a lot of three shells from the Cuming collection with original labels in Pfeiffer’s handwriting stating the species name. None of these shells exactly match with the illustration in Pfeiffer (1854a). However, the specimen mostly similar to the illustration in Reeve (1861: sp. 22) is illustrated here and is designated as the lectotype.
