Type material.

Syntype NHMUK 1842.5.10.790-798 (6 adults + 3 juveniles; Fig. 9D, E).

Remarks.

The species name was made available in volume 1 of the Thesaurus Conchyliorum, (Sowerby I 1843a; for date of publication see Petit (2009)). The original description includes an illustration, and the author clearly stated the taxon was described based on specimens collected by H Cuming. The NHM collections contain a lot of nine shells that have a label stating the type collection locality 'Calauang, Luzon’. The NHM registration records show that this lot was purchased from the H Cuming collection. The specimen that closely matches with the original description and illustration in Sowerby I (1843a) is figured herein (Fig. 9D).
