Bulimus rectilinearis Pfeiffer, 1855 Figs 24F , L51vii

Bulimus rectilinearis Pfeiffer 1855d: 96, pl. 31 fig. 7; Pfeiffer 1859b: 405; Pfeiffer 1868 [1866-1869]: 414, pl. 94 figs 19-20; Breure 1979: 123.

Type locality.

"Meobamba, Eastern Peru (Mr. Yates)".

Label.

"Tarapoto Andes of P[eru] / Mr Spence", taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

"Long. 24, diam. 10 1/2 mill."; figured specimen herein H 23.9, D 11.2, W 7.7.

Material.

NHMUK 1975337, three specimens (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer (1855g) described this species from an imperfect shell (cf. Pfeiffer 1859b: 405 and Pfeiffer 1868 [1866-1869]: 414). Pfeiffer (1859b) also mentioned "Habitat Moyobamba Peruviae (Yates), Tarapoto (Spence)", indicating that he had seen additional material in the Cuming collection. The material found is from the second source and one specimen corresponds to Pfeiffer 1868 [1866-1869]: pl. 94 figs 19-20; the material of Yates could not be traced in the collection. The indication as ”ST” by Breure (1979) was evidently based on the wrong series, although the label authorizes the material as seen by Pfeiffer. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) rectilinearis (Pfeiffer, 1855).
