Label.

"de Cobija au Bolivia", taxon label in Souleyet’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 13, diam. 7 mill."; figured specimen herein H 12.8, D 7.2, W 6.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 1854.7.24.359, five paralectotypes ('Voyage of the Bonité’ coll.).

Remarks.

Souleyet (1842) did not state on how many specimens his description was based. He wrote "Ces espèces seront décrites avec plus de détails et avec figures dans la Zoologie du voyage de la Bonite " (i.e. Souleyet 1852). The collection of this trip is partly present in the NHMUK (ex Parzudaki ex Eydoux, Souleyet and Gaudichaud), partly in the MNHN. Breure (1975b) designated one of the specimens in the latter collection as lectotype, despite the fact that the locality and measurements did not exactly match the original data, contrary to the specimen figured herein.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx umbilicaris (Souleyet, 1842).
