cincta Ancey, 1904, Tornatellina

( Fig. 1A )

Tornatellina cincta Ancey, 1904a: 297 , pl. 12, figs 5, 6.

CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Tornatellidinae Cooke & Kondo, 1961, Tornatellaria Pilsbry, 1910 . Valid species.

TYPE MATERIAL. — Syntype MNHN IM-2000-20012 (1 spm).

TYPE LOCALITY.— “Makawao (partie Est de Maui); Oahu; Molokai; Hawaii; vallée d’Iao, Maui; Kaupakalua, Maui”.

REMARKS

The MNHN specimen is from Kaupakalua, according to the labels associated with the specimen (variously spelled). One label also identifies it as a “Cotype”. Cooke (in Pilsbry & Cooke 1916 [in 1914-1916]: 263, pl. 55, fig. 1) “selected the Makawao lot (no. 18500 Bishop Mus.) as the type (p. 55, fig. 1)” and illustrated one of the specimens from this lot. However, because this lot contains more than one specimen and the figure legend does not identify the shell figured as the “type”, this selection cannot be considered a lectotype designation, even if that was Cooke’s intent. BPBM 41252 has been separated from BPBM 18500 and is labelled as a lectotype, but this designation has never been published (see also Wood & Gallichan 2008: 35, 36). The species was not listed by Fischer- Piette (1950: 170-171). Ancey’s illustrations are not detailed enough to identify the MNHN specimen as that figured. No lectotype is here selected, pending further research in other museums ( BPBM, MCZ, NMW, IRSNB) holding type or possible type material ( Wood & Gallichan 2008: 35).
