all our specimens with the possibility in view that some of them 

 might belong to this western form, but with negative results.

Wolterstorff (see synonymy) seems to think that this species does 

 not reach Fukien. However, six specimens collected by Sowerby in 

 that province, including one without specific locality (No. 65267), 

 four at Foochow (165328-9, 66427-8) , and one at Fatsing (No. 65250) , 

 prove that the species is not rare there.
