(is the specimen figured in (1816): pl. 430, fig. 3b)
. No locality is given on the label of specimens 51722; specimen 51723: Afrique occidentale.
Remarks:
The specimen MHNG INVE 51723 (
ex
MHNG 1098/25) is the variety b (or
minor
) figured by Lamarck by (1816) pl. 430, fig. 3b. According to Rosalie de Lamarck, her father’s collection contained
three specimens
. However, the specimen(s) of the main species (not the variety b) was or were not found. The three small specimens MHNG INVE 51722 probably also represent the
variety
minor
, but at least two of them, if not all three, are not Lamarck’s original specimens.
