Cyclophorus schepmani Laidlaw, 1957
Cyclophorus schepmani
Laidlaw, 1957: 126, 127.
Type locality.
Sinabang, Simalur Island, West Sumatra.
Type material.
Paratype NHMUK 1957.11.18.7 (1 shell;
Fig. 19A; D
=44.4 mm, H=35.7 mm, W=5
1/2
).
Remarks.
The authors indicated that four lots of specimens were examined in the original description. The original description did not include an illustration, and two set of shell measurement were given. However, the holotype was clearly designated and is housed in the Leiden Museum, Netherlands (now Naturalis Biodiversity Centre). The NHM registration records show that this specimen was purchased from Laidlaw, ex. Dr. Jacobson collection, and the original label states
'paratype'
. The locality given by Laidlaw was "2 ex. July; Sinabang" match with the specimen. We therefore consider the single specimen as paratype.
