Current generic position.

Pterocyclos Benson, 1832

Type locality.

Pooree (=Puri) [Puri District, Odisha State, India] and Chandbally [region in Odisha State, India].

Type material.

Possible syntype NHMUK 1912.4.16.658 (1 shell; Fig. 11A) from Puri, Orissa.

Remarks.

The author clearly indicated that this taxon was described based on material from Pooree (=Puri) and Chandbally. The original description does not include any illustrations or shell measurements, and the species description is very brief, simply indicating that this taxon is a "dwarf form with raised spire …”. The NHM collections contain a lot containing one shell from the Beddome collection with an original label stating collection locality as "Puri, Orissa". Since this lot was registered as "Nev. Hnd. List. p. 260", we consider this shell to be a possible syntype.
