Remarks.

Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but mentioned "[a] pink shell"; this is herein not considered as sufficient evidence that he had only one shell for his description. The material was in "Mus. Cuming". The top and the apertural lip of the specimen found are damaged. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006).
