Remarks.
The NHM collections contain a lot of four shells from the Godwin-Austen collection (ex. Doherty collection) and have his original handwritten label stating
"Type"
. The specimen that most closely matches the original description and the measurements given by Godwin-Austen is designated as the lectotype.
