Label.

"New Granada".

Dimensions.

Not given; figured specimen herein H 39.2, D 17.0, W 6.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 1874.12.11.226, lectotype (ex Mrs. T. Lombe Taylor).

Remarks.

Reeve described this taxon from "Mus. Taylor" and figured three different shells. The specimen selected lectotype by Breure (1979) corresponds to fig. 601a; the other two figures do not belong to this species. The distribution of this-easily misinterpreted-taxon as given by Linares and Vera (2012), entirely based on records from literature, need to be viewed with suspicion.

Current systematic position.

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