Label.

"Costa Rica", in Fulton’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Alt. 29 1/5, diam. maj. 13 (...) mill."; figured specimen herein H 28.3, D 13.1, W 7.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 1901.4.25.28, lectotype (ex Fulton).

Remarks.

Fulton did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. Breure (1979: 120) referred to the specimen in NHMUK as "HT BMNH 1901.4.25.28". Köhler (2007) found an additional specimen in ZMB which he regarded as probable type material and considered all specimens as syntypes. However, under Art. 74.6 ICZN Breure’s designation may be considered as a lectotype designation; specimen ZMB 52678 is therefore a probable paralectotype.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) inusitatus (Fulton, 1900).
