Endodonta nerissa Hutton 1883

Endodonta nerissa Hutton, 1883 Pl. 5, fig. F Hutton, 1883. The New Zealand Journal of Science, 1: 476. Type material. Lectotype, CMNZ M1400 (dry shell). Lectotype fixed by inference of holotype (ICZN Art. 74.6) by Climo et al. (2020: 70). Label details. CMNZ M1400—‘103. Endodonta nerissa Hutton, Auckland’, pillbox label in Hutton’s handwriting. Type locality. ‘ Auckland (T. F. Cheeseman)’ (Hutton 1883g: 476, 1884b: 176), ‘Remuera, near Auckland (Cheeseman)’ (Hutton 1884c: 196). Previous illustrations of type material. Climo et al. (2020: fig. 2B—lectotype). Remarks. Original description based on one or more specimens from Remuera, Auckland. Hutton submitted a description of Endodonta nerissa to the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute issue for 1883, but publication was delayed until May 1884 (Hutton 1884b: 176), and was pre-empted by a brief description in an account of a meeting of the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury (Hutton 1883g: 476). As noted in the preceding species entry, from Suter (1892d: 283–285) onwards, nerissa has generally been treated as a subjective junior synonym of Endodonta marina Hutton, 1883, which he described from the same type locality, but it was reinstated as a valid species by Climo et al. (2020). Current taxonomy. Laoma nerissa (Hutton, 1883) — Climo et al. (2020). Distribution. New Zealand; North Island, from Auckland south, northern South Island, in Nelson and Marlborough Sounds (Climo et al. 2020; AIM and NMNZ distribution records).
