Type locality.

"America centralis; prope Veracruz legit Lattre" (see remarks).

Label.

"Mons Lattre / Mountains of Vera / Cruz, Central America". M.C. label style IV.

Dimensions.

"Long. 21, diam. 10 ´´´ [H 45.8, D 21.8 mm]"; figured specimen herein H 42.6, D 22.2, W 6.4.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975555, lectotype; 1975556, eight paralectotypes (Cuming coll.) (see remarks).

Remarks.

The type locality was corrected to Guatemala, Vera Paz [Dept. Altaverapaz] by Pilsbry (1899: 42). Breure and Eskens (1981) mentioned two paralectotypes; a modern label (after 1975) states "Also Syntypes of Bulimus focillatus", which makes it likely that six specimens have been added. There is no conclusive evidence that these were Reeve’s material; however, the lot cannot be untangled. The current systematic position is following Thompson (2011).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) lattrei lattrei (Pfeiffer in Philippi 1846).
