Remarks.

Reeve described this taxon from "Mus. Cuming", but did not give a locality. It is not clear if the locality added during later years may be trusted. This is a subadult specimen and the taxon may prove to be synonymous with one of the many similar-looking other Bulimulus taxa occurring in this region.

Current systematic position.
