Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.166, seven paralectotypes ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

d’Orbigny (1835) did not state on how many specimens his description was based. In d’Orbigny 1838 [1834-1847]: 274 he specified the locality as "non loin des ruines de l’ancienne Mission de San-Juan"; see Breure 1973: 127, fig. 5. Breure (1975b) found three specimens in the MNHN collection, labelled ”Chiquitos”, of which he selected one as lectotype; this specimen is larger than d’Orbigny’s measurements. One of the specimens in lot 1854.12.4.166 corresponds to d’Orbigny 1838 [1834-1847]: pl. 33 figs 12-13 and is here re-figured. The name Bulimus turritellatus Beck, 1838 was an emendation of d’Orbigny’s name.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bulimulus turritellatus (Beck, 1838).
