Type material.
NHMUK 1975174, lectotype; 1975175, three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).
Remarks.
Pfeiffer described his material from the Cuming collection, based on material "found on bushes by Darwin". Reeve based himself on the same material. Although the specimens are not accompanied by a taxon label in
Pfeiffer's
handwriting, their type status is not disputed as the shell height closely agrees with
Pfeiffer's
data. The current systematic position follows
Richardson (1995)
.
Current systematic position.
