Valid species.   TYPE MATERIAL. — Lectotype(here designated) MNHNIM-2000- 30808; paralectotype: MNHNIM-2000-30809 (1 spm). NON- TYPEMATERIAL. — MNHNIM-2000-37356 (4 spms).  TYPELOCALITY. — “les îles Sandwich”.  REMARKS  The text of Férussac inQuoy& Gaimard(1825: 479, 480) refers to pl. 65, in error (on p. 479), as well as to pl. 68, which is the correct plate (on p. 480). MNHNIM-2000-30808 closely matches Férussac’s fig. 12 and has been considered to be the figured specimen, according to the label, and the original lot from which it was separated. MNHNIM-2000- 30809 has a typical black-bordered Férussac collection label associated with it and is similar to his figs 8 and 9, although it is perhaps not the figured specimen. The species is extremely variable in the amount of banding on the shell, but Pilsbry & Cooke (1914[in 1912-1914]: 279) took Férussac’s figs 10 and 11 to represent the “typical pattern”. In the absence of specimens of this typical pattern we here designate MNHNIM-2000-30808 as the lectotype;  MNHNIM-20000-30809 is a paralectotype. The species was treated and illustrated by Deshayes (1851: 193, 194, pl. 155, figs 9-11). The main modern label of MNHN IM-2012-37356 identifies the specimens as syntypesof  Helix lorata. However, the older labels, both dated 1837 (after Férussac’s death), identify them as  Achatinella productaReeve, 1850, though one of them also says “  Helix( Helicteres) loratavar.?” and has an additional label stuck to it also saying “  loratavar.?”. The modern identification of this lot as  H. loratais considered incorrect as the specimens match the original illustration of  A. productaof Reeve (1850 [in 1849-1851]: pl. 2, fig. 13) quite closely, although they are slightly broader; they also match the illustrations of  A. productaof Pilsbry & Cooke (1914: pl. 38, figs 7-13, pl. 43, figs 10-10b), especially their pl. 38, fig. 9. Reeve’s material was from the Cuming collection and described in 1850, whereas the MNHN labels indicate that the material was in Férussac’s collection, and with the date 1837. There is no earlier label suggesting that Férussac considered these specimens to be H  lorata. We therefore do not consider these specimens to be type material of either  H. lorataFérussacor of  A. productaReeve. Theyare discussed here simply to preclude confusion regarding their type status.
