Type material.

RBINS/MT2338, one paralectotype, ex Géret ex Ancey (Dautzenberg coll.).

Remarks.

Wood and Gallichan (2008) discussed the different labels of Fulton, Ancey and Dautzenberg. They argued for a syntypic status of this specimen, and for the material that is in the MNHN collection, which was regarded as the holotype by Fischer-Piette (1950); according to Art. 74.6 ICZN the MNHN specimen has to be regarded as a lectotype. The shell height of the MNHN-specimen is 22.0 mm, thus not corresponding to the original measurements given by Ancey. Breure (1975b) followed the designation as holotype by Fischer-Piette, being unaware of a second specimen in RBINS. The top of this specimen is damaged and it is likely that the original shell height was closer to Ancey’s dimensions.

Current systematic position.
