Type locality.

"Jouctabamba, Peru".

Label.

”Peru”.

Dimensions.

"Long. 33, diam. 10 mill."; figured specimen herein H 29.2, D 9.6, W 7.9.

Type material.

NHMUK 1868.4.3.3, three possible syntypes (ex R. Geale).

Remarks.

Higgins (1868) did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. The taxon label bears a handwriting that may be Higgins’, but this cannot be ascertained. The largest shell in the lot found is smaller than the original measurements given; the specimens are considered as possible syntypes. The taxon is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus trujillensis Philippi, 1867 (syn. n.).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) trujillensis (Philippi, 1867).
