Type locality.

[Colombia] "Santa Fé de Bogota".

Label.

"New Granada", added in a later handwriting. See

Remarks.

M.C. label type IV.

Dimensions.

"Long. 49, diam. 26 mill."; lectotype H 49.0, D 28.5, W 4.0.

Type material.

NHM 1975127, lectotype; 1975141, one paralectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

The material is accompanied by a label signed by E.A. Smith, indicating that the specimen was figured in Pfeiffer (1854-1860) and were considered “types” by him. Since Pfeiffer based himself on Cuming's material for this taxon, the type status is here not questioned despite the fact that a label in Pfeiffer's handwriting is missing.

Current systematic position.

Amphibulimidae , Plekocheilus (Aeropictus) succineoides succineoides (Petit de la Saussaye, 1840).
