Remarks.

One lot was found, of which one shell is very similar to Reeve’s figure. The shells are considered probable syntypes. Pfeiffer (1853: 326) considered these shells juveniles and conspecific with Bulimus patricius Reeve, 1849, which was published later in the same year. Fischer and Crosse (1875: 478, pl. 20 figs 1-2) were the first to recognize that this a Guatemalan species.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) lilacinus (Reeve, 1849).
