Bulletin de la Société Philomathique de Paris. Series 7, 4: 126. Type material: Whereabouts not known. Not found during a search of the MNHN type collection in 2016, but may be present in the MNHN general molluscan collection ( Virginie Héros pers. comm., 2016) . Type locality: ‘de l’ile Campbell … une faible distance des bords de la mer, dans la baie de Persévérance, près de la pointe Terror’ ( Filhol 1880: 126 , 1885: 570 ). Remarks: Filhol described this species from one or more specimens collected on Campbell Island in 1874, during the French transit of Venus expedition. There are no published illustrations of the type material. Powell (1955: 126) listed Thermia (?) expeditionis Suter, 1909 from the Auckland Islands as a subjective junior synonym of Helix campbellica , and erected the new subgenus Phrixgnathus ( Taguahelix ) , with Thermia (?) expeditionis Suter (= Helix campbellica Filhol, 1880 ) as the type species, by original designation. Examination of the holotype of Phrixgnathus viridulus caswelli Dell, 1955 indicates that it is a subjective junior synonym of Helix campbellica Filhol, N. syn. Current Taxonomy: Listed as Taguahelix campbellica ( Filhol, 1880 ) by Climo & Goulstone (1993: 28) and Spencer et al . (2009: 217) . Distribution: New Zealand ; southwestern South Island, Stewart Island, Auckland and Campbell islands ( Filhol 1880 ; Powell 1955 , 1979 ; AIM and NMNZ collection records).
