Amphidromus columellaris gloriosa Fulton, 1896

Amphidromus columellaris var. gloriosa Bttg. Fulton 1896a: 79.

Type locality.

Sierah Island, Tenimber Laut [Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 1894.5.23.8 (Fig. 8E; H=32.5 mm, W=14.1 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 1894.5.23.7 (Fig. 8F), SMF 7555 (3S).

Remarks.

Authorship was originally attributed to O. Boettger from a manuscript name. However, since O. Boettger did not write the description, the taxon is attributed to Fulton only. The brief original description clearly implied that it was based on more than one specimen. However, no illustration or measurements were provided, and the unique type was not designated in the original publication. Two specimens from NHM collection accompanied with Fulton’s handwritten label stating the taxon name and collection locality are considered to be syntypes. The specimen that most closely matches with the description is here designated as the lectotype to stabilise the name.
