Kuschelenia (Bocourtia) Rochebrune, 1882 (comb. n.)

Remarks.

David Campbell (pers. commun.) kindly made us aware that the name Vermiculatus Breure, 1978 is preceded by Bocourtia Rochebrune, 1882. Rochebrune (1882: 117) described this genus from Thailand as a member of Lymnaeidae ; the type species Bocourtia lymnaeformis Rochebrune, 1882 was subsequently designated by Hubendick (1951: 114), but Ancey (1906: 317) and Germain (1910: C.32) already recognised that this species was identical to Bulimus anthisanensis Pfeiffer, 1853. The name Vermiculatu s Breure, 1978 (type species Bulinus bicolor Sowerby I, 1835) is thus a subjective junior synonym of Bocourtia Rochebrune, 1882 (syn. n.). The following taxa are affected by this new classification (comb. n.):

aequatorius Pfeiffer, 1853; anthisanensis Pfeiffer, 1853; aquilus Reeve, 1848; badius Sowerby I, 1835; bicolor Sowerby I, 1835; caliginosus Reeve, 1849; coagulatus Reeve, 1849; cotopaxiensis Pfeiffer, 1853; filaris Pfeiffer, 1853; nucinus Reeve, 1850; ochraceus Morelet, 1863; peaki Breure, 1978; petiti Pfeiffer, 1846; polymorpha d’Orbigny, 1835; purpuratus Reeve, 1849; quechuarum Crawford, 1939; subfasciatus Pfeiffer, 1853.
