Cat. Moll. Ind. Mus.
Fasc. E: 4.
Current taxonomic status.
Pila globosa
(Swainson, 1822 [in 1821-1822]), junior synonym.
Type locality.
"near Calcutta"; Nevill, leg.
Type material.
Lectotype, by designation of
Prashad (1925
: 74): NZSI M.2399 (registered 8 January 1894). Paralectotypes: NZSI M.25083/5 (registered 25 September 2001, 8 spms); 5 additional specimens noted by
Nevill (1877
: 4), location unknown.
Shell dimensions.
Lectotype: SH 32.1 mm, SW 27.5 mm, AH 22.4 mm, AW 16.3 mm. Paralectotypes (8 spms): SH 26.0-30.9 mm, SW 23.3-29.9 mm, AH 18.6-22.5 mm, AW 13.3-16.4 mm, OH 17.4-20.4 mm, OW 10.1-13.3 mm.
Remarks.
Nevill (1877
: 4) described the variety based on 14 shells collected by himself from Calcutta and by Major L.W. Wilmer from "the village of Koakally, close to Dum-Dum" [= Dumdum, Kolkata, West Bengal, India].
Nevill (1885
: 2) subsequently noted that the 14 specimens comprised 10 from Calcutta collected by himself and four from Dum-Dum collected by Wilmer. One of the Calcutta specimens was catalogued in the original ZSI (then the Indian Museum) register as the
"type"
, NZSI M.2399.
Prashad (1925
: 74) noted this specimen as the
"Type-specimen"
, thereby unambiguously designating it as the lectotype and restricting the type locality to "near Calcutta", as stated by
Nevill (1877
: 4). Its dimensions and appearance (Fig.
5
) closely match the dimensions and description given by
Nevill (1877
: 4). The remaining 13 specimens are paralectotypes, with only eight, all from Calcutta, found in the NZSI collections (NZSI M.25083/5).
