REMARKS

Cousin gave his collection to Jousseaume ( Cousin 1887: 187; Jousseaume 1887: 165). The shell is from Jousseaume’s collection. However, it is larger than the dimensions given by Cousin and it does not correspond closely with his illustration.Nevertheless, we consider that it may be a syntype.
