NHMUK 20100586, three probable syntypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer referred in his original description to " Bul. melanost. var. Conch. Ill. f. 88 "; this figure was likely published in 1838 ( Coan et al. 2013a) and was probably based on material present in the collection of H. Cuming. The material found was purchased by Cuming, and one of the specimens fits the shell height mentioned by Pfeiffer. The material has also been figured by Reeve and has a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. The specimens are considered as probable syntypes. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006: 131); however, the classification of Auris with the Bulimulidae needs further confirmation from molecular studies.
