Leiostracus sarcochilus ; Simone 2006 : 123, fig. 386. Type locality. "in Brasilia septentrionali (Miers)". Label. "North of Brazils / F. Miers Esq", taxon label in Pfeiffer's handwriting. M.C. label style I. Dimensions. "Long. 21-25, diam. 10-11 1/2 mill.". Figured specimen H 24.7, D 13.1, W 7.7. Type material. NHMUK 1975398, lectotype; 1975399, one paralectotype (Cuming coll.). Remarks. Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but from his dimensions it is clear that he had more than one specimen at hand. From Pfeiffer (1859) it becomes clear that this was one of the taxa described from "Mus. Cuming". Breure (1978) re-described the species on the basis of additional material and established the first exact locality in state Espirito Santo. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006) , whose reference to the figured type as "syntype" is erroneous. Current systematic position. Simpulopsidae , Leiostracus sarcochilus (Pfeiffer, 1857).
