Dimensions.

"Diam. 12, alt. 23 lin. [H 48.5, D 25.3 mm]"; figured specimen herein H 46.1, D 24.4, W 7.2.

Type material.

NHMUK 1879.7.22.15, lectotype, W.M. Gabb leg. (ex Angas).

Remarks.

Angas wrote "only three specimens were obtained"; thus the reference of Breure (1979) to "HT BMNH 1879.7.22.15" has to be interpreted as a lectotype designation under Art. 74.6 ICZN. The whereabouts of the other two specimens mentioned by Angas are unknown. The current systematic position follows Thompson (2011: 109).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) zhorquinensis (Angas, 1879).
