Pfeiffer first mentioned his taxon as a synonym of "[Bulimus] striatulus Sow.", and stated in Pfeiffer (1848b) it was meant as a new name for that taxon, which was preoccupied by Bulimus striatulum Lamarck, 1822. The taxon is available under Art. 11.6.1 ICZN. The locality and dimensions quoted above are derived from Pfeiffer (1848b). The largest shell in the lot is figured herein. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).
