Bulimus dentritis Morelet, 1863 Figs 16G , L17ii

Bulimus dentritis Morelet, 1863: 206, pl. 9 fig. 5; Breure 1979: 62.

Type locality.

[Peru, Dept. Cuzco] ”près de Huiro, vallée de Santa-Anna".

Label.

"Miota, Vallée de Sta Anna", in Morelet’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Longit. 20, diam. 8 mill."; figured specimen herein H 19.9, D 7.42, W.

Type material.

NHMUK 1893.2.4.237, paralectotype (Morelet coll.).

Remarks.

The species is hitherto classified as Bulimulus . However, the protoconch sculpture consists of axial riblets; it is here re-classified under Naesiotus sensu Breure 1979. The NHMUK specimen fits the measurements given by Morelet, but is not from the type locality. Other type material is present in MHNG from various other localities, of which one specimen from the type locality was designated lectotype ( Breure 1978).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus dentritis (Morelet, 1863) (comb.n.).
