Treatment

Alycaeus Expatriatus W. T. Blanford & H. F. Blanford, 1860: 123-124.

Alycaeus expatriatus - Reeve 1878: pl. 5, species 45; Godwin-Austen 1914: 433-434.

Alycaeus (Dicharax) expatriatus - Kobelt 1902: 369-370; Gude 1921: 250-251.

Chamalycaeus (Dicharax) expatriatus - Ramakrishna et al. 2010: 59.

Chamalycaeus expatriatus - Raheem et al. 2014: 46, fig. 25C.

Dicharax (?) expatriatus - Aravind & Páll-Gergely 2018: 59, fig 1B.

Type locality.

"Haud raro ad Neddoowuttom ghat, ad latus septentrionale montium “Nilgiri” Indiæ australis et circa 3000-4000 ped. alt.".

Material examined.

Neddiwuttom, Nilgiris, NHMUK 1906.4.4.58 (lectotype, hereby designated and 5 paralectotypes).

Remarks.

Protoconch low, glossy, no spiral lines visible; R1 rather glossy, with low, irregular growth ridges and without spiral striae; R2 short with low, widely spaced ribs curved towards aperture.

The lectotype designation of Aravind and Páll-Gergely (2018) was invalid because no explicit statement was made to designate the lectotype. Thus, we here designate that shell to be the lectotype, which was named as such and figured by Aravind & Páll-Gergely (2018: fig. 1B).
