CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Punctidae , Punctum Morse, 1864 . Valid species.

TYPE MATERIAL. — Syntypes MNHN IM-2000-9655 (3 spms, of which 1 just an apical fragment; Fig. 5I ) .

TYPE LOCALITY. — “Palihoukapapa, on the Hamakua slope of Mauna Kea, Kawaii [Hawaii], an elevation of 4,000 feet ” (in the introduction to the paper).

REMARKS

Although the original description stated that this species was also found on Oahu, the species was described based on material from the above type locality. The description was not explicitly based on only a single specimen but neither does it imply the existence of syntypes. Although described in the Journal de Conchyliologie and three older labels say “cotypes”, no lectotype is here selected, pending further research in other collections (BPBM, IRSNB) holding type or possible type material ( Wood & Gallichan 2008: 53).
