Cyclophorus haughtoni Theobald, 1858

Cyclophorus haughtoni Theobald, 1858: 246. Hanley and Theobald 1870: 1, pl. 1, fig. 3, pl. 3 fig. 6 and pl. 48, fig. 6. Kobelt 1902: 129. Kobelt 1908: 661.

Type locality.

Maulmein [Mawlamyine, Myanmar].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 1888.12.4.1953 ( Fig. 10A; D =42.0 mm, H=36.9 mm, W=5), paralectotype NHMUK 1888.12.4.1954 (1 shell; Fig. 10B; D =41.8 mm, H=32.4 mm, W=5).

Remarks.

This species was based on more than one specimen, from Theobald’s collection but only one set of measurement was given. The original description did not include an illustration but subsequently, Hanley and Theobald (1870) figured three illustrations of this species. There are two shells in the NHM collections purchased from W. Theobald, with an original label stating “typical”, and with the collection locality “Moulmein”. The specimen that most closely matches the measurements given in the original description, and the illustration in Theobald (1870: pl. 1, fig. 3 and pl. 48, fig. 6) is designated as the lectotype.
