scientific name

Helix equestrata
status

 

equestrata, Helix, J. Moricand, 1858: 449 , pl. 13 fig. 1.

Type locality: [ Peru] Moyobamba. Syntypes: MHNG- INVE-72607 (2) ( Pleurodontidae ) [ Figs 69-72 View Figs 67-79 ].

– Remarks. This material originated from M. Porte, and arrived via Moricand junior in the Brot collection. There is a second lot, MHNG-INVE-72606, which despite a label written in J. Moricand’s hand is doubtful to belong to the original series, and is herein not considered as type material.
