Type locality.
Takow, Formosa [northern Qi-Jin, Kaohsiung City] (Swinhoe)
Material examined.
Lectotype. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.7/1, new designation, 6.8
x
11.6 mm, whorls 4.5.
Paralectotype. Formosa, coll. Swinhoe (NHMUK 1866.5.9.7/2, 1 shell). Formosa, from collection of H. Adams (NHMUK 1878.1.28.231, 1 shells)
Remarks.
Adams (1866)
described the locality as Takow, Formosa. However, this species was not actually collected there. I think Swinhoe and Adams used Takow to designate the area presently known as Kaohsiung City (
Wu et al. 2008
; also see remarks for
Oospira formosensis
(Adams, 1866)). The largest specimen corresponds well in size with the measurements of
Adams (1866)
. It is here selected as the lectotype.
