REMARKS
Although the original description stated that this species was also found on Oahu, the species was described based on material from the above type locality. The description was not explicitly based on only a single specimen but neither does it imply the existence of
syntypes
. Although described in the
Journal de Conchyliologie
and three older labels say “cotypes”, no
lectotype
is here selected, pending further research in other collections (BPBM, IRSNB) holding type or possible type material (
Wood & Gallichan 2008: 53
).
