Bulinus nux Broderip 1832: 125; Sowerby I 1833 [ Sowerby I and II 1832-1841]: figs 37-37*; Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 23 fig. 150; Breure 1979: 70.

Naesiotus nux ; Breure and Coppois 1978: 178 (lectotype designation); Breure and Borrero 2008: 14.

Type locality.

"Insula Gallapagos. ( Charles’s Island)".

Label.

"Charles I. Galapagos". M.C. label style III.

Dimensions. "long. 10/12, lat. 9/12 poll." [H 21.1, D 18.9]; figured specimen herein H 21.5, D 12.06, W 7.2.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975172, lectotype: 1975173, three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

The material is accompanied by labels denoting its figuration in Reeve (1848-1850) and taxon labels in Pfeiffer’s handwriting, one " Bul. nux " and one " Bul. unifasciatus ". All labels seem to have been glued together during E.A. Smith’s period, who has marked on the board both the locality and the Cumingian origin. The H/D ratio as given by Broderip is probably erroneous.
