Treatment

Bulimulus ephippium Ancey, 1904 Figs 28iv-vi, L6iv

Bulimulus ephippium Ancey 1904: 102; Breure 1979: 62; Simone 2006: 118, fig. 361; Wood and Gallichan 2008: 44; Breure 2011: 25, fig. 16C, 16ii (lectotype designation).

? Bulimulus ephippium ; Breure 1978: 144, pl. 11 fig. 8.

Type locality.

"Bahia, Brazil (teste H. Fulton)".

Label.

“Bahia”, in Fulton’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Longit. 20, diam. 12 mill.". Figured specimen H 20.5, D 13.3, W 5.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 1905.12.30.12, one paralectotype.

Remarks.

Ancey did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the NHMUK specimens were considered syntypes by Breure (1978, 1979), and Simone (2006). Breure (2011) selected the specimen in RBINS (also mentioned as syntype by Wood and Gallichan 2008) as lectotype. Ancey (1904) considered his taxon as belonging to "the Eudioptus section" of Bulimulus ; Breure (2011) re-classified it with Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) Albers, 1860. Further anatomical and molecular studies should provide more evidence for this classification.

Current systematic position.

Simpulopsidae , Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) ephippium Ancey, (1904).
