Label.

"Yunga..... olivia"; in d’Orbigny’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Longit. 4 centim., latit. 1 centim. 4 millim." (corrected to "Long. 40 millim., lat. 15 millim." in d’Orbigny 1837); figured specimen herein H 24.6, D -, W 5.4.

Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.133, one paralectotype.

Remarks.

d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The type locality was specified in d’Orbigny 1838 [1834-1847]: 316 as ”près du lieu dit Yunga de la Palma" (see Breure 1973: 117, 132). Breure (1975: 1151) has selected a lectotype from the material found in MNHN. The specimen in London has lost the lower part of the last whorl and moreover does not correspond to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: pl. 40 figs 12-13. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 128).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) fusoides ( d’Orbigny, 1835).
