Naesiotus sculpturatus ; Breure and Coppois 1978: 187 (lectotype designation).

Type locality.

"Gallapagos Islands".

Label.

"Galapagos Is.". M.C. label style III, V.

Dimensions.

"Long. 14, diam. 6 1/2 mill.". Figured specimen H 14.4, D 7.7, W 6.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975174, lectotype; 1975175, three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer described his material from the Cuming collection, based on material "found on bushes by Darwin". Reeve based himself on the same material. Although the specimens are not accompanied by a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting, their type status is not disputed as the shell height closely agrees with Pfeiffer’s data. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus sculpturatus (Pfeiffer, 1846).
