Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.167, eight paralectotypes; 1854.12.4.168, seven juvenile paralectotypes; 1854.12.4.169, five paralectotypes; 1854.12.4.170, lectotype and five paralectotypes; 1854.12.4.172, five paralectotypes ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

d’Orbigny (1835) originally also mentioned "et provincia Entre-Rios (republica Argentina)" as type locality. The type locality was restricted to "Bolivia, Dept. Santa Cruz" by Breure (1975b: 1146); see also Breure 1973. Miquel (1989a: 62) concluded that this species does not occur in Argentina. One of the syntypes from lot 1854.12.4.170, corresponding to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: pl. 34 fig. 2, is here designated as lectotype (design. n.). One specimen each is missing from lots 1854.12.4.167 resp. 1854.12.4.169.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus montivagus ( d’Orbigny, 1835).
