Krauss 1848, page 86, [type status needs research] of Paludina knysnaensis Krauss, 1848
Connolly 1939, page 593, Other Useful Citation of Assiminea knysnaensis Krauss "Type in Stuttgart Museum."
Herbert and Warén 1999, page 224, Other Useful Citation of Assiminea knysnaensis Krauss "No contemporary material in SMNH. Connolly's discussion and illustration of the 'type' in Stuttgart Museum is sufficient to constitute a lectotype designation (Connolly 1939: 593, pI. 15, fig. 34, pI. 16, fig. 29), but this, plus the other shells in the type lot, must now be presumed lost." However, see also note on page 212: "However, some Krauss types are indeed present in BMNH (e.g. Physa diaphana, Naggs, pers. comm.) and were even distributed by Connolly to other institutions (e.g. Natal Museum)."
