Bulimulus (Lissoacme) andoicus – Pilsbry, 1896 [1895-1896]: 147, pl. 46 figs 42-44.

Bostryx andoicus – Breure, 1978: 50 (lectotype designation).

Type locality: [ Peru] “vallées (..) d’Ayacucho ” .

Label: “La laja de Cocharcas”, “La balsa de Cocharcas”, and “Cocharcas”.

Dimensions: “Long. 26-30; diam. 9-10 mill.”; largest figured specimen herein H 23.5, D 8.89, W 6.9.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60235, nine paralectotypes (Angrand coll.).

Remarks: Morelet did not state on how many specimens his description was based; he figured three specimens, none of which can be matched with certainty with the Geneva material. The type locality was broadly defined by Morelet and probably also covers adjacent parts of Dept. Apurimac. There are two places called “Cocharcas” in the valley of Río Apurimac, one in Dept. Ayacucho and the other in Dept. Apurimac. Given the range of the dimensions given by Morelet, it is clear that he had a larger type series at hand. There is an additional lot in the NHMUK collection, as described by Breure (1978) and Breure & Ablett (2014), including the lectotype. The current systematic position corresponds to Richardson (1995: 16).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Bostryx andoicus ( Morelet, 1863) .
