Type material of land snails (Mollusca: Gastropoda) described from New Zealand by taxonomists in Europe and North America between 1830 and 1934, and the history of research on the New Zealand land snail fauna from 1824 to 1917 Author Brook, Fred J.

F; Pl. 12, fig. C1, 2 Pilsbry & Cooke, ( 1914–1916 ) 1915. Manual of Conchology. Second series: Pulmonata , 23: 149, pl. 39, figs. 1–5. Type material: Holotype whereabouts not known; paratypes (2), ANSP 8316 (dry shell material). Label details: ‘Sunday I., Kermadec Islands, Tom Iredale.’ Type locality: ‘Kermadec Is.: Sunday Island’ (Pilsbry & Cooke 1915 [in 1914–1916 ]: 149). Previous illustrations of type material: Pilsbry & Cooke (1915 [in 1914–1916 ]: pl.39, figs. 1–5). Remarks: The type material was collected on Raoul Island in 1908 by Tom Iredale ( Iredale 1913 ). According to Pilsbry & Cooke (1915 [in 1914–1916 ]: 149), the ‘type’ of Tornatellina kermadecensis was to be sent to Canterbury Museum, New Zealand (CMNZ), and a ‘paratype’ retained at the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia (ANSP), but there is no record of a type in the CMNZ collection (e.g., Freeman et al . 1997 ). There are currently two paratypes of T . kermadecensis at ANSP, but whether or not one of these is the missing holotype has not been determined. A specimen illustrated by Pilsbry & Cooke (1915 [in 1914–1916 ]: pl. 39, figs. 1–5) was presumably the holotype , albeit not identified as such. Pilsbry & Cooke’s hand-drawn illustrations are reproduced here in pl. 12, fig. C, along with a photograph of a paratype in pl. 1, fig. F. Current Taxonomy: Treated as a junior subjective synonym of Tubuaia raoulensis (Pilsbry & Cooke, 1915) by Cooke & Kondo (1961: 156) , acting as First Revisers, both names having been published on the same date.
