Dimensions:
“11 millimètres de hauteur et 21 millimètres de largeur”; figured specimen herein H 20.9, D 20.3,
W 3.4
.
Type material:
MHNG-INVE-78487,
six syntypes
(Moricand coll.);
64624, two probable
syntypes
(ex Moricand, Brot coll.).
Remarks:
Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The shell height as given by Moricand was probably measured with the aperture down on a surface, and is thus not comparable to the way modern dimensions are given. The specimens in Brot’s collection originate from Moricand and are considered as probable
syntypes
. The current systematic position follows
