Helix (Cochlogena) aurismuris S. Moricand, 1838

Fig. 44

Helix (Cochlogena) aurismuris S. Moricand, 1838: 140 , pl. 3 figs 1-3. – Neubert & Janssen, 2004: 200, pl. 4 fig. 163.

Type locality: [ Brazil] “la fazenda de Palmeirinha , entre Caxoeira et Jacobina, province de Bahia ”.

Label: “à la fazenda de la Palmeirinha / prov. de la Jacobina, sur les vieux arbres / (…) M. Blanchet No 104”, “ Brésil, Jacobina, Blanchet”, in Moricand’s handwriting.

Dimensions: “sept lignes dans sa plus grande longueur, et cinq lignes et demie de large” [H 15.75, D 12.4 mm]; figured specimen herein H 31.5, D 17.1, W 6.0.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60683, 44 syntypes; 60686, 48 syntypes (ex Blanchet, Moricand coll.).

Remarks: Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based. His dimensions were given in “lignes”, which equals one Swiss ‘ligne’ = 2.2256 mm; see Rowlett, 2004; the difference between the published and actual dimensions are remarkable. The second lot (60686) has only an original label “ No 104 / Helix aurismuris / Nob.”, which may be matched to the other lot where the same number used by Blanchet was found on one of the labels. The “ var. alba ” as given on one of the labels is an unpublished name. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Cochlorina aurismuris ( Moricand, 1838) .
