Type material.

Lectotype (design. nov.) NHMUK 1903.7.1.3083/1 (Fig. 8B ). Paralectotype NHMUK 1903.7.1.3083/2 (1 shell; Fig. 8C ) from Tsanspu Valley, Abor Hills.

Godwin-Austen (1915) explicitly stated that two specimens of this taxon were obtained, with a type specimen lot number of "No. 3083 Brit. Mus.". Without any explicit holotype designation or equivalent expression, both specimens are syntypes. The specimen figured in the original description that corresponds to the shell measurements given is hereby designated as the lectotype (NHMUK 1903.7.1.3083/1; Fig. 8B ) to stabilize the name.
