Bulimus sugillatus Pfeiffer, 1857 Figs 16C , L58ii

Bulimus sugillatus Pfeiffer 1857d: 389; Pfeiffer 1859b: 490.

Anctus sugillatus ; Breure and Schouten 1985: 6, pl. 1 figs 5-7 (lectotype designation).

Type locality.

”Bolivia”.

Label.

”Bolivia”, taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style III.

Dimensions.

"Long. 24, diam. 9 1/2 mill."; figured specimen herein H 23.7, D-, W 8.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975259, lectotype and two paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Restudy of the type lot reveals that the protoconch sculpture consists of axial riblets with fine, spiral lines in between. This characteristic makes us now to classify this taxon with Naesiotus sensu Breure 1979 (comb. n.). We consider Pfeiffer’s taxon to be a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus rivasii d’Orbigny, 1837 (syn. n.).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus rivasii ( d’Orbigny, 1837).
