Type material.

NHMUK 1893.2.4.198, lectotype; 1893.2.4.199-200, two paralectotypes (Morelet coll.).

Remarks.

According to Pilsbry 1897 [1897-1898]: 19 this taxon is a junior homonym of Bulimus radiatus Bruguière, 1789. Richardson (1995: 35, 167) placed this taxon in the synonymy of Bulimus nigropileatus Reeve, 1849, which we do not endorse. It is clear from the dimensions quoted by Morelet, that he had ample material at hand. The locality on the label could not be found in modern gazetteers. The mixture of material from two widely separated regions in Peru, and the lack of a precise location for the type material, calls for additional research to establish the position of this taxon.

Current systematic position.
