Remarks. Cotton and Godfrey (1940: 572) synonymised Molachition naxus with Lirachiton inexpectatus . Subsequent authors accepted this synonymy. Gowlett-Holmes (1987: 109) synonymised Lirachiton with Bassethullia and stated that this species appeared to be closely related to B. matthewsi (Bednall and Pilsbry) .
