Cyclophorus saturnus Pfeiffer, 1862

Cyclophorus saturnus Pfeiffer, 1862: 116, pl. 12, fig. 6. Kobelt 1902: 132.

Type locality.

Camboja [Cambodia].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 20130119/1 ( Fig. 18A; D =63.1 mm, H=46.5 mm, W= 5½), paralectotypes NHMUK 20130119/2-3 (2 shells; Fig. 18B; D =57.7 mm, H=43.2 mm, W= 5½; D=60.0 mm, H=46.8 mm, W= 5½).

Remarks.

This species was described based on a specimen collected by M. Mouhot from the Cuming collection, and only one set of shell measurements and one specimen was illustrated in the original description. There are three shells in the NHM collections from the Cuming collection with an original label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting stating the taxon name, collector and collection locality. The figured specimen with an “x” written inside the aperture is here designated as the lectotype. The type locality of Cambodia applied to contemporaneous boundaries but Mouhot also collected in an area that now comes within the boundary of southern Vietnam.
