Label.

"Andes of Peru", taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style IV.

Dimensions.

"Long. 31, diam. 13 1/2 mill."; figured specimen herein H 31.0, D 13.7, W 8.1.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975334, lectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer described this taxon from the Cuming collection, but did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The protoconch is sculptured with indistinct granules, the shell shape is like those found in several taxa of Bostryx sensu Breure 1979, who treated this taxon as a nomen inquirendum. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 51).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx woodwardi (Pfeiffer, 1857).
