REMARKS

The original description was based on more than one specimen: “une bande blanchâtre […] qui est habituellement [usually] bordée […] par une ligne d’un brun rougeâtre” and “Elle […] présente souvent [often] […] une angulation particulière” ; and specimens were noted as being in the collections of both Pease and Crosse. A single specimen was noted as “Exemplaire-type” and illustrated by Fischer-Piette (1950: 73, 180, pl. 4, fig. 54). This usage is here treated as a lectotype designation (see introductory text regarding lectotypes). The specimen is the single specimen in MNHN IM- 2000-30805, and a label of the collection of the Journal de Conchyliologie , associated with this specimen and written at the time of Fischer-Piette, says “type”, as does an earlier label, and another states that it is the specimen figured. Johnson (1994: 9) listed this specimen as the “ Holotype ”, while also listing “ paratypes ” ( MCZ 25826, 25828 View Materials ) .
