Type locality.

[Peru] "les vallées et sur les plateaux de l’intérieur de la Sierra, depuis Ayacucho jusqu’au Cuzco" (see remarks).

Label.

”Pérou”, taxon label in Morelet’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Longit. 22, diam. 5 1/2 mill."; figured specimen herein H 21.7, D 5.43, W 10.6.

Type material.

NHMUK 1893.2.4.248-250, three paralectotypes (Morelet coll.).

Remarks.

Breure (1978) upon selecting a lectotype from the MHNG collection, also fixated the type locality to Acobamba according to the label information of the specimen. Although there are several localities with that name in southern Peru, it is now assumed that it should be in Dept. Huancavelica [S -12.866667, W -74.566667], given the context of the other localities mentioned in Breure (1978). The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 23).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx emaciatus (Morelet, 1863).
