Taxon category: Accepted

Type locality: Galapagos; Finet (2001): Specimens quoted from the Galapagos in older collections, but with locality data inaccurate and not necessarily reliable, were sometimes previously identified as S. lanceoata, but are now reidentified as Strombina paenoblita Jung, a species not thought to occur with certainty in the Archipelago (for details, see also JUNG, 1989). AMNH: 110471, 111299, 111849; ? 10373 (is Strombina paenoblita, fide Jung, 1989: 141), ANSP: 81823, 154808, 156772, 219927, 349995; ? 10290, ? 246579 (are Strombina paenoblita , fide JUNG, 1989: 141). USNM: 678919, 753281, 812800, LACM: several lots BMNH: 1966325/1 (Lectotype), 1966325/2-3 (Paralectotypes), 1966376/1-3 (Paralectotypes); 1966377/1-3 (Paralectotypes) (the 3 latter specimens are from the original type series of S. lanceolata (Sowerby), but not conspecific with this species (Jung, 1989); they are also paratypes of Strombina paenoblita Jung, 1989 (see Jung, 1989: 141)), MHNG: 17708, CDRS: 165, 216, 217, 218, 809, 1099, FNRS-Belgian expedition to the Galapagos, 1984, MHNG expedition to the Galapagos, 1993
