Remarks

ANSP 46513

remarks Alc label states "Halolimnohelix langi Pils. Type." The American Museum of Natural History has a broken shell marked "type". ANSP A18776, which consists of soft parts, is also marked "Type". Presumably the AMNH and ANSP lots belong to the same individual, and are both part of the holotype.
