Bulimus clarus Pfeiffer 1857c: 330.

Type locality.

"Meobamba, Peru (Mr. Gueinzius)".

Label.

”Ecuador” [see remarks]; taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

"Long. 16, diam. 7 2/3 mill.". See remarks.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975487, two possible syntypes [see remarks] (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

The type material consists of a mixed lot, one specimen belonging to Naesiotus sensu Breure 1979 (H 15.9, D 8.2, W 7.0), the other to Drymaeus (H 15.8, D 7.6, W 5.4). The latter corresponds more closely to the original measurements, but is subadult. However, as the locality differs from the type locality, and the collector is not mentioned on the label, there remains doubt whether this is the original lot. The taxon is now considered a nomen inquirendum.
