Ampullaria globosa subvar. sinistrorsa Nevill, 1885. Hand List. Moll. Ind. Mus. p. 2.

Remarks.

As the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, it is unavailable (Code, Art. 1.3.4, Art. 10.2, Art. 45.5). As such, it has no taxonomic status, no type locality and no type material. Nevill (1885: 2) described it from two specimens, one collected from the "Botanical Gardens, Calcutta" [= Kolkata, West Bengal, India] by Dr J. Anderson (NZSI M.2396, registered 10 January 1894), with dimensions SH 44.6 mm, SW 43.7 mm, AH 35.5 mm, AW 30.0 mm; and one from an unknown locality from the collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, labelled “Mauritius” but registered as from “Madras” (NZSI M.2395), with dimensions SH 38.6 mm, SW 34.9 mm, AH 29.5 mm, AW 24.3 mm. Neither of the specimens has any type status.
