Type locality.
"ad Thyet-Mio cum
praecedente
(=
A. sculptilis
)".
Material examined.
UMZC 102995 (holotype [single specimen mentioned in the original description]).
Remarks.
Protoconch low, no spiral striation visible.
The specimen largely matches
Benson's
original description, and therefore we consider it to be the holotype. The photographs of that specimen show some signs of spiral striation. However, those striae may be part of the lower shell layers, and not raised threads as in other
Chamalycaeus
species. Consequently, the spiral striae on the holotype of
A. armillatus
may not be homologous with the ones in
Chamalycaeus
species; we would need fresh shells to confirm this. For the time being, we refer to this species as
Chamalycaeus (?) armillatus
.
The shells labelled as
A. armillatus
in the NHM (Thayet-myo, Pegu, coll. Blanford, NHMUK 1906.4.4.71, 6 shells) belong to another (probably undescribed)
Chamalycaeus
species based on the shorter R3, the shallower constriction between R2 and R3, and the smaller distance between the inner and outer peristomes.
