syntype
NHMUK
1979101 (H. Cuming collection). Remarks: Cernohorsky (1969: 217): ‘there is one specimen in the
type
collection which is most probably the
holotype
and measures 24.4X
4.8 mm
. Deshayes’ stated dimensions [
29X
9
mm] are obvious an error, since the given width in relation to the total length is out of proportion for such a slender species of
Terebra
’.
