Type material.

NHMUK 20110083, three syntypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; he described the taxon "Ex Coll. Cl. Gruner" ( Pfeiffer 1852) and specified this later to "Mus. Cuming ex Gruner" ( Pfeiffer 1853b). The three specimens found are thus considered to be syntypes; one of these, possibly figured in Pfeiffer 1854 [ Küster and Pfeiffer 1840-1865], is broken. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006).

Current systematic position.

Simpulopsidae , Leiostracus obliquus (Reeve, 1849).
