Amphidromus perakensis globosus Fulton, 1903

Amphidromus perakensis var. globosus Fulton in Collinge, 1903: 211, 212.

Type locality.

Biserat, Jalor [Yala, Thailand].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 1904.5.26.24 (Fig. 8C; H=50.0 mm, W=28.5 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 1904.5.26.25-30 (4D adults + 2D juveniles, Fig. 8D).

Remarks.

This species was described based on specimens from Annandale and Robinson’s collection in the Malay Peninsula. Laidlaw and Solem (1961: 622) stated “… the location of the material is unknown." We located seven specimens in the NHM general collections with an original label stating that they were purchased from Annandale and Robinson, with the locality "Biserat State of Jalor, Malay Peninsula". We consider these specimens to be the syntypes. The specimen that most closely matches the original description is here designated as the lectotype.

Regarding the authorship of this name, Collinge (1903: 211, 212) clearly stated that H. Fulton provided him with the brief definition and the species name. Fulton, therefore is solely attributed the authorship ( ICZN 1999: Art. 50.1.1).
