Type locality.

"Fort Nottingham; also Curry’s Post, Natal (A. J. Taynton)" (Burnup 1914: 39).

Material.

NMNZ M.207151 (1 shell, Nottingham Road, ex H. Suter colln 5704).

Discussion.

The locality of the present specimen (Nottingham Road) is not a perfect match to the type locality given by Burnup (1914), although it is definitely in the same area. Burnup (1914) recorded Fort Nottingham as a different locality than Nottingham Road (see entry for G. melvilli below). As such, the present specimen is not considered type material. The types can be found in the NHM collection: holotype (NHMUK 1914.12.19.10, Fort Nottingham, presented by Burnup) and two paratypes (NHMUK 1914.12.19.23-24 Fort Nottingham, presented by Burnup), all housed in a single lot. A further specimen in the NHM (NHMUK 1937.12.30.801, ex. Connolly collection), despite being noted as a paratype (though original label reads ‘co-type’), is not in fact a type, as it was collected in Karkloof, which is not part of the type locality (Burnup 1914).
