Dimensions.

"Long. 32, diam. 15 mill."; figured specimen herein H 31.6, D 16.3, W 5.9.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975170, lectotype and two paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer (1846a) indicated that he described shells from "Val. Mur." (sic, Val. Mus. = Valenciennes collection). According to Crawford (1939) he found two specimens with reference to ”Val.” on the label; however, we found the same lot containing three specimens. Crawford noted on a separate label "The left hand spec. seems from its label + the dimensions to be the spec. described as B. jussieui Pfr. 1846 + fig. Reeve C.I (V) 242"; this specimen is here designated lectotype (design. n.) to define the taxon. There is no label from Reeve accompanying the lot. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 350).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Kuschelenia (Kuschelenia) culminea culminea ( d’Orbigny, 1835) (comb. n.).
