"Long. 21 millim.; lat. 9 mill."; figured specimen herein H 23.3, D 9.4, W 8.0.

Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.194, lectotype and seven paralectotype ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based. One of the specimens corresponds to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: pl. 32 figs 5-6, and is here selected lectotype (design. n.). The protoconch is smooth and relatively small; this taxon-hitherto classified with Drymaeus -is now transferred to the genus Bostryx Troschel, 1847 (comb. n.).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx montagnei ( d’Orbigny, 1837).
