Cowie &
Héros

.
Type
locality
—“Les ruisseaux de l’île Elephanta (

Island
(
Mumbai
)].
Distribution
—no additional information.
Remarks
.
Fischer-Piette (1950: 12, pl. 1, fig. 7)
listed it and figured one specimen but did not designate a
lectotype
. Not listed by G.B. Sowerby III (1916: 72). Junior primary homonym of
pygmaea
Lamarck (Lamarck 1804: 30, 1822b: 547; not
Ampullariidae
). No replacement name provided here, pending further research.

Kobelt, 1912b: 99, pl. 41, figs. 8, 9.
Type
material
—
holotype
[by monotypy]: SMF 25319.
Type
locality
—“der
Insel
Mainit,
Philippinen
” [probably Lake Mainit, Mindanao,
Philippines
].
Remarks
. Kobelt’s description seems to have been based on a single specimen, although not explicitly. There is only a single specimen in SMF, labelled as the
holotype
by Zilch (R. Janssen pers. comm.
18 October 2013
). There is no reason to think that there were additional specimens, so this specimen is considered here to be the single specimen constituting the
type
series (
Code
, Art. 72.4.1.1) and therefore the
holotype
. Synonym of
conica
