Bulimus fourmiersi d'Orbigny, 1837 Figs 16I , L24iii

Bulimus fourmiersi d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: 273, pl. 30 figs 12-14 [3 April 1837; text 23 April 1838].

Type locality.

[Argentina] "la province de Corrientes, non loin du Rio de Santa-Lucia, au lieu nommé Pasto reito "; see Breure 1973: 133.

Label.

"corrientes Rep. argentina", in d’Orbigny’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 11 millim., lat. 7 millim."; see remarks.

Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.210, lectotype ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

The single specimen is severely damaged, and only the upper whorls are retained. The original figures of d’Orbigny, which are heirein designated as lec totype (design. n.), are figured instead of the type specimen. The protoconch scultpture suggests this taxon to belong to Naesiotus ; more detailed studies are needed to corraborate this classification. According to the collation data the figures were published in 1837, the text in 1838 ( Coan et al. 2013a). Miquel (1989a: 2) considered it as "sp. inquirenda"; Cuezzo et al. (2013: 151) classified it with Bulimulus Leach, 1814.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus fourmiersi ( d’Orbigny, 1837).
