Ampullaria erronea
Nevill, 1877.
Cat. Moll. Ind. Mus.
Fasc. E: 17.
Current taxonomic status.
Pomacea erronea
(Nevill, 1877), valid species.
Type locality.
"South America"; collector unknown.
Type material.
Holotype (by original designation): NZSI M.2404 (registered 8 January 1894).
Shell dimensions.
Holotype: SH 28.4 mm, SW 24.9 mm, AH 19.1 mm, AW 14.8 mm, OH 16.1 mm, OW 10.5 mm.
Remarks.
Nevill (1877
: 17) suggested the name
erronea
for this South American species, which Reeve had previously misidentified as
aperta
Philippi. Nevill considered it readily distinguishable from
aperta
. He stated that the
"Type"
of
Ampullaria erronea
was in the Indian Museum. The dimensions of the present specimen closely match those given by Nevill for the
"Type"
and we consider it to be the holotype.
