Bulimus neglectus Pfeiffer, 1847 Figs 18H-I, 18i

Bulimus neglectus Pfeiffer 1847: 67.

Clessinia neglecta (Pfeiffer); Breure and Schouten 1985: 10 (lectotype designation); Simone 2006: 164, fig. 564.

Type locality.

[Brazil] “Brasilia”.

Label.

“Brazils”, taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

"Long 19, diam. 6 mill."; lectotype H 16.8, D 5.18, W 8.2.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975263, lectotype and one paralectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

A note accompanies the material stating "types / var. designation not Pfeiffer’s”. However, the label on the back of the cardbox has Pfeiffer’s handwriting, and the type status of these specimens is not disputed here. Simone (2006) incorrectly gave the size of the lectotype as 21 mm height. This species is tentatively classified with Bahiensis , a group awaiting a generic level revision.

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Bahiensis neglecta (Pfeiffer, 1847).
