Zonites fulminata Hutton, 1882 View in CoL

Pl. 2, fig. G

Hutton, 1882. New Zealand Journal of Science, 1: 281.

Type material. Holotype, by monotypy, CMNZ M252 (dry shell). The molluscan collection at CMNZ has radula fragments mounted on a glass slide with the label details ‘ Phacussa fulminata, Stewart Is., XVI p. 173’, in Hutton’s handwriting (i.e., CMNZ 2017.17.114), which is probably from the holotype (see descriptions of radula and jaw by Hutton 1883d: 138, 1884b: 173).

Label details. CMNZ M252—‘44. Phacussa fulminata Hutton, Stewart Island’, pillbox label in Hutton’s handwriting.

Type locality. ‘Stewart Island (T. Kirk)’ ( Hutton 1882p: 281), ‘Stewart Island (Mr. T. Kirk, a single specimen)’ ( Hutton 1883d: 138).

Previous illustrations of type material. Radula teeth illustrated by Hutton (1884b: pl. 10, fig. J) probably from holotype.

Remarks. The original description of Zonites fulminata was based on a single specimen ( Hutton 1883d: 138). Hutton submitted a description of this species to the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute issue for 1882, but publication was delayed until May 1883 ( Hutton 1883d: 138), and was pre-empted by a brief description in an account of a meeting of the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury ( Hutton 1882p: 281).A description by Hutton (1884b: 173, pl. 10, fig. J) of a radula of fulminata was probably based on the putative type material in CMNZ 2017.17.114 mentioned above. Charopa cassandra Hutton, 1883 is a subjective junior synonym of Zonites fulminata Hutton, 1882 , as noted in the entry for the former species (above).

Current taxonomy. Phacussa fulminata (Hutton, 1882) — Hutton (1884b: 173, 1884c: 206), Suter (1913: 623), Powell (1979: 315), Spencer et al. (2009: 215).

Distribution. New Zealand; Whenua Hou/Codfish Island, Rakiura/Stewart Island and nearshore islands ( Suter 1913: 624; Dell 1954b: 138; Powell 1979: 315; AIM and NMNZ collection records).
