Type locality.
Himalaya
[Himalaya, India].
Type material.
Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 20130118 (
Fig. 10C; D
=48.0 mm, H=41.1 mm, W=5).
Remarks.
This species was described from specimens in the Cuming collection and only one set of shell measurements was given in the original description.
Pfeiffer (1853a
: 247, pl. 33, figs 10, 11) republished the description and figured a shell from
Cuming's
collection. There is a single shell in the NHM collections from the Cuming collection with an original label stating "the type" which exactly matches Pfeiffer illustration (
1853a
) and is here designated as the lectotype.
