Bulimus sellersi Cox, 1872
Figs 10B, 10ii
Bulimus sellersi
Cox 1872a
: 644, pl. 52 fig. 3.
Aspastus sellersi
(Cox);
Delsaerdt 2010
: 27, pl. 2 figs 15-19 (lectotype designation).
Type locality.
"Guadalcanar Island, Solomon Islands".
Label.
"Solomon Isls", taxon label "Placostylus / sellersi / Cox" (see remarks).
Dimensions.
"Length 1.90, breadth 0.66 of an inch [H 46.3, D 16.8 mm]"; lectotype H 44.4, D 18.9, W 5.5.
Type material.
NHMUK 20070067, lectotype; seven paralectotypes (ex Kennard ex Cox).
Remarks.
The specimens are accompanied by a second label "B. sellersi / Cox / Austr:", which is possibly the original label of Cox. Furthermore, a third label. presumably made by Kennard, reads "Guadalcanar Cotypes Cox coll.". The measurements of the lectotype as given by
Delsaerdt (2010)
appear to be erroneous ("The length of the lectotype is 50 mm").
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae,
Aspastus sellersi
(Cox, 1872).
