Type locality.
Singapore.
Type material.
Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 20110225/1 (
Fig. 3E; D
=39.9 mm, H=31.7 mm, W=5), paralectotypes NHMUK 20110225/2-3 (2 shells;
Fig. 3F; D
=38.7 mm, H=29.5 mm, W=5, and D=39.9 mm, H=31.2 mm, W=5).
Remarks.
A figure was not provided in the original description but a figure in "Thes. Conch. part 3, pl. 27, fig. 131" was cited. The original description states 'Found in the Woods at Singapore under decayed leaves by H.
Cuming'
. There are three specimens from the Cuming collection with an original label, possibly in
Sowerby's
handwriting
that states 'Singapore in the wood under decayed
leaves'
. We therefore recognize these specimens as syntypes and the figured specimen (
Sowerby I 1843c
: pl. 27, fig. 131) is here designated as the lectotype.
