Remarks.

Martens did not specify on how many specimens his description was based. The specimen ZMB 4458 is broken in the last whorl due to the thiness of the shell; it corresponds to the figures of Strebel and Pfeffer (1882) and Martens 1893 [1890-1901]. The specimens ZMB 4461 are accompanied by labels referring to Strebel and Pfeffer’s (1882) "Form A" and "Form B". The current systematic position is after Thompson (2011).
