Ordo: Pulmonata
Familia: Orthalicidae
Genus: Orthalicus
Name
Orthalicus elegans Rolle, 1895 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Orthalicus elegans Rolle 1895[1]: 131; Neubert and Janssen 2004[2]: 237, pl. 23 fig. 280.
- Orthalichus princeps elegans; Martens 1901 [1890–1901][3]: 629, pl. 44 fig. 15.
Type locality
[Mexico] “Colima”.
Label
“Colima / Mex”, in Martens’ handwriting.
Dimensions
“Alt. 62, diam. 28.5 (...) mm.”; figured specimen herein H 61.2, D 28.5, W 5+.
Type material
ZMB 47655, lectotype; ex Rolle.
Remarks
Rolle did not state on how many spcimens his description was based. The top of the specimen is damaged. There is no original label in Rolle’s handwriting, but the measurements agree and Martens has marked the specimen as ‘type’ on the label. Neubert and Janssen (2004)[2] correctly indicated that Rolle distributed more specimens under the same name, without it being clear if they were part of the original series. This being the case, I now designate the ZMB specimen as lectotype (design. n.) to define the taxon. The current systematic position is after Thompson (2011)[4].
Current systematic position
Orthalicidae, Orthalicus elegans Rolle, 1895.
