Bulimulus (Drymaeus) nubilus Preston 1903: 4, text-fig.; Breure 1979: 112.

Type locality.

"Azarhar de Cartago, Costa Rica".

Label.

"Azarhar de Cartago, / Costa Rica".

Dimensions.

"Diam. maj. 10.5, alt. 25 millim."; figured specimen herein H 22.3, D 10.45, W 6.2.

Type material.

NHMUK 1903.5.4.1, lectotype (ex Preston).

Remarks.

Preston did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. The single specimen in the NHMUK is not accompanied by a label in Preston’s handwriting, but its type status is here not disputed as the specimen originates from Preston. The record of Breure (1979) of "HT 1903.5.4.1" has to be interpreted as a lectotype designation under Art. 74.6 ICZN. The current systematic position follows ( Richardson 1995: 170).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) recluzianus (Pfeiffer, 1847).
