The complicated history of the prelinnean vernacular name Bordestrap is followed in an attempt to trace the type material of Delphinula trigonostoma Lamarck, 1822. The syntype figured by Favanne could not be traced; shell MHNG 1095/34 is to all evidence a second syntype; it was in the collections of general Paris and of prof. Richard before it entered the Delessert collection. None of the few shells present in 18th century Dutch collections could be traced.
