Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.239, [seven syntypes] ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

Seven specimens were known to be present (cf. the registration book, which has an undated note in pencil "6 missing"), but none could not be found. This taxon has been mentioned under two different species by Richardson (1993: 36, as synonym of Bulinus janeirensis Sowerby I, 1833; 1993: 47, as synonym of Odontostomus juvencus Mörch, 1852). The former is an erroneously reference to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: pl. 39 figs 1-2, who corrected the legend to his figure to Bulimus fuscagula d’Orbigny “(figuré sous le faux nom de Bulimus Miliola)"; d’Orbigny 1846 [1834-1847]: 696.
