Label.

"British Guiana".

Dimensions.

"Alt. 24, diam. maj. 13 mm."; figured specimen herein H 24.0, D 12.8, W 6.2.

Type material.

NHMUK 1915.1.6.36, lectotype (ex Preston).

Remarks.

Preston did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the reference of Breure (1979) to "HT BMNH 1915.1.6.36" has to be interpreted as a lectotype designation under Art. 74.6 ICZN. The columellar margin of the specimen is damaged. The current systematic position agrees with Richardson (1995: 174).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) selli (Preston, 1909).
