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). Figure 5.
