Amphidromus janus (Pfeiffer, 1854)

Bulimus janus Pfeiffer, 1854 [1852]: 85.

Type locality.

in Novis Hebridibus [New Hebrides].

Type material.

Lectotype NHMUK 19601444 (Fig. 9F; H=46.6 mm, W=24.0 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 19601445 (1D + 1S, Fig. 9G).

Remarks.

The type locality "New Hebrides" seems to be an error, since this is beyond the known range of Amphidromus . Subsequent collections and reports confine the species distribution to Burma from the Tavoy and Mergui archipelagos ( Nevill 1878, Pilsbry 1900, Gude 1914, Laidlaw and Solem 1961).
