Type material.

Remarks.

The specimen designated lectotype by Breure (1979) corresponds to Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 43 fig. 273b only. The shell corresponding to Reeve’s fig. 273a has not been found, but appears to be a distinct taxon. As a consequence Bulimus murrinus has been misinterpreted by most authors, and all references in literature have to be viewed with this in mind. This interpretation of Bulimus murrinus is based on data not yet published by Breure and Borrero.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) murrinus (Reeve, 1848).
