Amphidromus cambojiensis (Reeve, 1860)
Bulimus cambojiensis
Reeve, 1860: 204.
Type locality.
Cambojia [Cambodia].
Type material.
Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 19601468/1 (Fig. 4F; H=66.6 mm, W=35.1 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 19601468/2-3 (1S + 1D, Fig. 4G).
Remarks.
Bulimus cambojiensis
Reeve, 1860 was described from a specimen collected by H. Mouhot. When describing
Bulimus cambojiensis
, Reeve did not designate a unique type.
Fulton (1896a)
figured this species for the first time, but did not clearly state their syntype status. The specimen that most closely matches the original description (
Reeve 1860
: 204) and the figure in
Fulton (1896a
: pl. 7, fig. 7) is designated here as the lectotype to stabilise the name.
Variation in the spelling of the species name is found as "
cambodjensis
" or "
cambogiensis
", but both are considered as incorrect subsequent spellings (
Morelet 1875
: 260,
Pfeiffer 1877
: 23). The correct original spelling "
cambojiensis
" is here highlighted to be maintained as proper usage.
