Type locality.

”Ecuador”.

Label.

”Ecuador”.

Dimensions.

"Long. 23 mill. diam. 9"; figured specimen herein H 20.0, D 10.0, W 4+.

Type material.

NHMUK 1872.5.22.19, one syntype.

Remarks.

Smith did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The label states ”type”, but this cannot be interpreted as holotype designation; there is also remarked "Purch[ased] of Cutter", and ”1/6” in the lower right corner of the label. The top of the specimen is broken, hence the lower shell height than the measurement given by Smith.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) subpellucidus (E.A. Smith, 1877).
