 Cernohorsky, W.O. 1991. p.91 [ Röding's types are no longer extant and Cernohorsky (1991) designated fig. 1389 on pl. 149 from vol. 4 of Chemnitz (1780) as the illustrated lectotype of Mitra praestantissima Röding. No type locality has been sited, but since Chemnitz gave "East Indies" as the locality of the illustrated lectotype, Cernohorsky (1991) designated Sumatra, Indonesa as the type locality. ]  Type information
