Dimensions.

Not given; figured specimen herein H 19.8, D 9.7, W 7.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975189, lectotype; 1975190, one paralectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Reeve did not state a locality; his description was based on the Cuming collection. Pfeiffer (1853d: 422), referring to the same collection, mentioned "Long. 20, diam. 9 1/2 mill.". Pfeiffer (1868: 129) gave the locality ”Peru”; it is not known, however, if he based himself on the same Cumingian material, as there is no taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx nigropileatus (Reeve, 1849).
