Sykes, 1896. Proceedings of the Malacological Society of London, 2: 107, text fig.

Type material: Syntypes, NHMUK 1915.1 View Materials .4.129 (1), NHMUK 1896.2.29.56–58 (4), NMNZ M.125083 (1) (dry shell material).

Label details: NHMUK 1915.1 View Materials .4.129, ‘ Inglewood, N. Island, N.Z.’ ‘figd. type 1896 P. Mal. Soc. II’ ; NHMUK 1896.2.29.56–58, ‘Taranaki, North Isla , New Zealand’ ; NMNZ M.125083, ‘near Inglewood, H.B. Preston’ .

Type locality: ‘ Near Inglewood, Taranaki, North Island’ ( Sykes 1896: 107) .

Previous illustrations of type material: Sykes (1896: 107, text figure).

Remarks: The type material of Flammulina (Allodiscus) chion was collected by the British conchologist Hugh Preston, during a trip to New Zealand in the late 1800s. Some early records of Helix venulata from New Zealand were based on misidentifications of Flammulina (Allodiscus) chion Sykes, 1896 , according to synonymies of Marshall & Barker (2008: 111).

Current Taxonomy: Listed as Allodiscus chion ( Sykes, 1896) by Suter (1913b: 638), Powell (1979: 319), Marshall & Barker (2008: 111) and Spencer et al. (2009: 215), but preliminary results of a phylogenetic study (M. Kennedy & F. Brook unpub. data) indicate that the assignment to Allodiscus Pilsbry, 1892 requires re-evaluation.

Distribution: New Zealand; southwestern North Island, and northwestern South Island ( Marshall & Barker 2008).
