Material in MHNG , Lamarck collection: 2 syntypes MHNG INVE 51707 (ex MHNG 1098/9) (figured herein, Fig. 11A – B ); 1098/9/1 : 120 mm ; 1098/9/2 : 111.3 mm . One probable syntype MHNG INVE 51706 ( ex MHNG 1098/8 ) (figured herein, Fig. 11C ) , 128.5 mm . Locality on the label: Océan Indien . Remarks: According to Rosalie de Lamarck, her father’s collection contained three specimens . G. Mermod (former curator of molluscs at MHNG) noted that the specimen 1098/9/1 is the one figured in the Tableau , while it is difficult to say which one of these three was figured by Kiener. We have some doubts as to whether 1098/9/1 is the figured specimen since the size does not quite match. On the other hand, specimen 1098/9/2 bears a faded handwritten inscription by Lamarck inside its aperture, and thus is surely one of his original specimens. Current taxonomic position: Fusinus tuberculatus ( Lamarck, 1822 ) ; placed in Fusinus by Melvill (1928) : 107. Unnecessarily renamed Fusus maculiferus by Tapparone - Canefri (1875). Locality is east Africa.
