Bulimus virginalis Morelet, 1860

Fig. 75

Bulimus virginalis Morelet, 1860: 372 .

Type locality: [ Peru] “[intimâ Peruvii regione]”; see remarks.

Label: “ Tacna ”.

Dimensions: “Longit. 28; diam. 14 mill.”. Figured specimen H 27.3, D 15.5, W 5+.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60272 , holotype (Angrand coll.).

Remarks: Morelet (1860) did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. This taxon has been synonymized with Bostryx hennahi (J.E. Gray, 1828) by Morelet (1863), who stated “[u]n seul individu de cette espèce a été rencontré sur la côte sablonneuse de Tacna ”. The specimen found is thus the holotype. It should be noted that this material is from the same locality as Helix cactorum d’Orbigny, 1835 ; see remarks under that taxon.

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Bostryx hennahi (J.E. Gray, 1828) ?
