Bulimus subinterruptus Pfeiffer 1853b: 256; Pfeiffer 1853 in Küster and Pfeiffer 1840-1865: 80, pl. 21 fig. 20-21; Pfeiffer 1853d: 333; Breure 1979: 115 (lectotype designation).

Type locality.

"in Andibus Boliviae".

Label.

"Andes, N. Granada", taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style IV.

Dimensions.

"Long. 37, diam. 13 1/1 mill."; figured specimen herein H 36.7, D 15.7, W 6.6.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975470, lectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer described this species from Cuming’s collection; he did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The type locality may have been in error, as Pfeiffer (1853 [1840-1865]: 80) corrected it to "Anden von Neu-Granada". In the same work Pfeiffer recognized a smaller variety (figured on pl. 21 figs 22-23; these figures were copied by Pilsbry 1898 [1897-1898]: pl. 41 figs 34-35, who did not illustrate the typical form). Breure and Borrero (unpublished data) were unable, however, to recognize this taxon in the material they revised from Colombia.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) subinterruptus (Pfeiffer, 1853).
