, one
paralectotype
(ex
d’Orbigny, Moricand
coll.).
Remarks:
d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The type series appears to have been split between the MNHN and NHMUK collections (
Breure, 1975
b;
Breure & Ablett, 2014
), while
one specimen
was sent to S. Moricand (likely at an earlier stage before the final split was made). The
lectotype
is in the MNHN. None of the specimens in London match the original figures, while one of the specimens in Paris is close to the published dimensions. The current systematic position follows
