Dimensions.

Not given; figured specimen herein H 26.3, D 13.22, W 5.7.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975403, lectotype; 1975404, one paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer (1852) introduced a new name for Reeve’s taxon, but since the name of Gould (1846: 99) is sufficiently distinct ( Bulimus moniliferus , now in Amphidromus ), this was an unneccesary nomenclatural act. All later authors (see Richardson 1995: 138) have followed Pfeiffer in this error, which is here corrected.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) monilifer (Reeve, 1848).
