Adams, 1866) Figure 3B Nanina (Acusta) assimilis H. Adams, 1866: 316, pl. 33 fig. 1. Acusta assimilis , Chang 1984 : 18. Type locality. Takow, Formosa [northern Qi-Jin, Kaohsiung City] (Swinhoe) Material examined. Lectotype. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.11/1), new designation, 13.7 x 19.4 mm, whorls 5.75. Paralectotypes. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.11/2-3, 2 shells). Remarks. Adams (1866) described the locality as Takow, Formosa, but the original label has only "Formosa". The lot NHMUK 1866.5.9.11 was first registered and labelled as " Nanina propinqua ", then later published as Nanina assimilis . None of these shells exactly match with the measurements of Adams (1866) . The specimen in the best condition is designated as the lectotype for the stabilization of the name ( ICZN 1999 : Art. 74).
