Dimensions.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975313, lectotype; 1975314, two paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

This taxon was described by Reeve on the basis of material collected by Bridges in the Cuming collection. The collector is not mentioned on the label, but the specimen confirms to Reeve’s figure and its type status is not disputed here. The current systematic position is according to Pilsbry (1896 [1895-1896]) and Miquel (1991), but takes into account the new combination made for this taxon.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx apodemetes ( d’Orbigny, 1835).
