Dimensions.

Type material.

Remarks.

Breure (1979: 136), not having seen any type material, considered this taxon doubtfully a Bostryx and listed it as nomen inquirendum. The specimen now found in the NHMUK collection confirms this classification and agrees with Richardson (1995: 24).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx erosus (Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832).
