Remarks
.
This species was described based on specimens from the Cuming collection. In the original description only one set of specimen measurements was given. In 1854,
Pfeiffer (1854a
: 346, pl. 45, figs 11, 12) re-published the description and illustrated a single specimen from the Cuming collection. There are two specimens from the Cuming collection with an original label in
Pfeiffer's
handwriting stating the species name, and a subsequent label stating
"Type"
. The figured specimen in
Pfeiffer (1854a)
can be recognized by the varix on the last whorl, and is designated here as the lectotype.
