fulva, Achatina – Deshayes, 1838-HistNatAnim: 309-310; 1851-HistNatTerrFluv: 18, pl. 124, figs 1-2, non Beck, 1837. However, according to Deshayes, this was Bulimus fulvus Bruguière, 1791 , Deshayes merely crediting himself with the generic change. Bequaert (1950: 61) listed this as of Deshayes and as synonym of Lissachatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822) [ Achatina ], and listed Bruguière’s taxon (p. 33) as a possible synonym of a form of Achatina achatina (Linnaeus, 1758) [ Bulla ].
