Type material.

NHMUK 1914.4.3.38, lectotype and five paralectotypes (ex Preston).

Remarks.

Preston described for this taxon also two forms (interruptus form α and β), and three varieties (var. pallidus, var. pallidus form γ, and var. pallidu s form δ); as he gave them explicitly infrasubspecific rank these names are not available (Art. 45.6 ICZN). The shells, from the same locality, clearly show the intraspecific variation that may occur in this taxon. Köhler (2007) has interpreted the reference to "HT BMNH 1914.4.3.38" in Breure (1979: 120) as an unjustified designation since Preston evidently did base his description on more than one specimen. However, under Art. 74.6 ICZN the reference of Breure (1979) may be considered as a lectotype designation; specimen ZMB 59597 is therefore a paralectotype.
