Bulinus translucens Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832 Figs 18R , L61i

Bulinus translucens Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832a: 31; Sowerby I 1833 [ Sowerby I and II 1832-1841]: fig. 11; Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 13 fig. 71.

Type locality.

"in America Meridionali ( King’s and Saboga Islands, Bay of Panama)".

Label.

”Panama” (see remarks). M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

"long. 7/8, lat. 4/8 poll. [H 22.2, D 12.66 mm]"; figured specimen herein H 21.2, D 11.7, W 5.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 1842.5.10.139, eight paralectoypes; 20100634, lectotype and three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Two lots were found, of which one has a taxon label " B. translucidus " possibly written in Broderip’s hand; note the different spelling compared to the published taxon name. The other lot has been used by Reeve for his fig. 71; this lot has a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. All material consists mostly of subadults and juveniles, but one of adult shells agrees with Broderip’s shell height and is here designated lectotype (design.n.) to define the taxon.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) translucens (Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832).
