Bulinus affinis Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832b: 106; Sowerby I 1833 [ Sowerby I and II 1832-1841]: fig. 30.

Bulimus affinis ; Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 23 fig. 154.

Type locality.

"in Peruviâ (Mexillones, desert of Atacama)".

Label.

”Peru”; taxon name in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

"long 1, lat. 1/2 poll. [H 25.3, D 12.7 mm]"; figured specimen herein H 27.5, D 12.6, W 8.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 20100610, five possible syntypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Broderip described this taxon from the Cuming collection, but did not indicate on how many specimens his description was based. These specimens are herein regarded as possible syntypes; one is corresponding to Reeve’s figure. The presence of a label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting together with specimens apparently seen by Reeve as evidenced by the figured specimen, corroborates the assumption ( Breure and Ablett 2011: 5) that-at least in some cases-material from the Cuming collection was either returned after having been sent to Pfeiffer or Pfeiffer made the identification during a visit to London.
