Bulimulus (Bostryx) moniezi Dautzenberg, 1896 Figs 1B , L37viii

Bulimulus (Bostryx) moniezi Dautzenberg 1896: 224, pl. 7 fig. 3; Breure 1979: 56; Breure 2011: 35, figs 11G, 11vii.

Type locality.

"le Haut-Pérou”.

Label.

"Andes of Bolivia" (handwriting of E.A. Smith?).

Dimensions.

"Longit. 14 millim., latit. 6 1/2 millim."; figured specimen herein H 12.5, D 5.9, W 7.9.

Type material.

NHMUK 1908.6.13.22, one possible syntype (ex Preston, ex Dautzenberg?).

Remarks.

The specimen is labelled ”co-type” but is not accompanied by a Dautzenberg label; however, its type status is not questioned here as Dautzenberg is known to have been in regular contact with Preston and the London museum ( Duchamps 1999, Breure unpublished data). The locality on the label is clearly in error (cf. Breure 2011).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx moniezi (Dautzenberg, 1896).
