Note Mandapam Camp, Gulf of Mannar, South India,...
From editor or global species database
Type locality Mandapam Camp, Gulf of Mannar, South India, "on the piles of the pier of Research Station" [details]
Type material Banse (1959: 173) states that "The holotype has been destroyed for the study of the bristles. Paratypes will be placed at the Zoological Museum of the University of Hamburg, Germany." This unfortunate action, if verified, seems to require a neotype to be selected from the paratypes, if locatable. The paratypes cannot become the syntypes (Article 72.4.5) [details]
Etymology Not stated, but Banse comments that the ventral collar is "coalescent with the elevation of the peristomium"
