Fig. 42

Helix heloica d’Orbigny, 1835: 11 . – Breure & Ablett, 2014: 87 , figs 62E-F, L26v.

Bulimus heloicus . – d’Orbigny, 1837 [1834-1847]: 272, pl. 30 figs 9-11.

Bulimulus (Lissoacme) heloicus . – Pilsbry, 1896 [1895-1896]: 193, pl. 51 figs 12-13.

Type locality: [ Bolivia] “provincia Chiquitensi , republica Boliviana ” .

Label: “Chiquito[s]”, label in Moricand’s handwriting.

Dimensions: “Longit. 28 millim., diam. 6 millim.”; figured specimen herein H 22.4, D 10.5, W 5.9.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-79903, one syntype (ex d’Orbigny, Moricand coll.).

Remarks: d’Orbigny (1835) did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the type locality was specified in d’Orbigny, 1837 [1834-1847]: 273 as “près de la Mission de Bibosi, province de Santa-Cruz de la Sierra, et dans la partie orientale de l’immense forêt (Monte grande) qui sépare Santa-Cruz de la province de Chiquitos, non loin du lieu nommé Potrero de la Cruz”. The locality on the label probably refers to San Javier, Dept. Santa Cruz in Bolivia; see Breure, 1973: 119, 127. The current systematic position follows Breure & Ablett (2014).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Bulimulus heloicus (d’Orbigny, 1835) .
