Taxon classification Animalia Stylommatophora Camaenidae
Amphidromus andamanicus nicobarica Godwin-Austen, 1895
Amphidromus andamanicus var. nicobarica
Godwin-Austen, 1895: 443, 450.
Type locality.
Katchall [island in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India].
Type material.
Holotype NHMUK 1888.8.6.31 (Figs 2F, 11L; H=38.4 mm, W=19.0 mm).
Remarks.
Godwin-Austen clearly stated that this taxon was described based on only one specimen. Therefore a single specimen ex.

(Fig. 2F) in the NHM collections is recognized as the holotype fixed by monotypy (
ICZN 1999
: Art. 73.1.2).
