Bulimulus (Drymaeus) smithii da Costa 1898: 81, pl. 6 fig. 8; Breure 1979: 114 (lectotype designation).

Drymaeus smithii ; Pilsbry 1898 [1897-1898]: 247, pl. 50 fig. 1; Linares and Vera 2012: 190.

Type locality.

[Colombia] ”Bogotá”.

Label.

”Bogota”, in da Costa’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 29.5, diam. 15 mm."; figured specimen herein H 29.5, D 15.4, W 5.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 1907.11.21.52, lectotype; 1907.11.21.53-54, two paralectotypes (da Costa coll.).

Remarks.

da Costa wrote "this shell", although three specimens are present in the original lot. Only if we assume that "this shell" is implying that da Costa had only one specimen at hand, the lectotype designation by Breure (1979) would lose its status; however, the presence of multiple specimens in the original lot argues against this assumption.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) smithii (da Costa, 1898).
