Ennea farquhari var. avena Burnup, 1914 Fig. 1A, B

Ennea farquhari var. avena Burnup, 1914: 46, pl. 4, figs 28-31.

Type locality.

"Maritzburg; also Pinetown and Durban (Burnup), Nottingham Road (Taynton), all in Natal" ( Burnup 1914: 46).

Type material.

Paratypes NMNZ M.207153 (1 shell, Pietermaritzburg, ex H. Suter colln 5706); NMNZ M.207154 (1 shell, Durban, ex H. Suter colln 5707).

Current taxonomic status.

Synonymous with Gulella farquhari (Melvill & Ponsonby, 1895) ( van Bruggen 1980: 27).

Discussion.

Burnup’s (1914) figs 28-30 depict the type specimen from Pietermaritzburg and his fig. 31, another specimen (a paratype) from Durban. Those localities coincide with the two specimens at the NMNZ, making them paratypes. Further type specimens are in the NHM collection, namely, the holotype (NHMUK 1914.12.19.12, Maritzburg, presented by Burnup), four paratypes from Pietermaritzburg (NHMUK 1914.12.19.28-29, Maritzburg, presented by Burnup; NHMUK 1937.12.30.849-850, Maritzburg, ex. Connolly collection), and another three paratypes from Durban (NHMUK 1914.12.19.30-32, presented by Burnup; NHMUK 1937.12.30.848, ex. Connolly collection).
