Type locality.

"provincia Valle-Grande, republica Boliviana" [Bolivia, Dept. Santa Cruz, Prov. Valle Grande].

Label.

"pampa ruis (Laguna) Bolivia"; in d’Orbigny’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 31 millim.; lat. 11 millim."; figured specimen H 28.6, D 11.3, W 8.5 [.191].

Type material.

"var. A." NHMUK 1854.12.4.191, seven paralectotypes; "var. B." NHMUK 1854.12.4.192, nine paralectotypes.

Remarks.

Breure (1975b) found type material in the Paris museum and concluded that it belonged to two different species, one lot corresponding to pl. 32 figs 1-2 (this is d’Orbigny’s var. A) and one lot to figs 3-4 (var. B). In the London museum all specimens proved to belong to the same taxon, despite their being labelled with different variety letters; however, they represent different colour forms.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx torallyi ( d’Orbigny, 1835).
