Limnaea columella var. championi von Martens 1890-1901: 378, pl. XIX, fig. 12.

Limnaea columella var. championi Kilias 1961: 162.

Type material.

Two syntypes collected in Bugaba (South Panama) by Champion and kept in ZMB collection under No. 51244. The largest of these shells reaches 12.4 mm height. Kilias (1961) reported that he intended one of these shells to become the lectotype of Limnaea columella var. championi and separated it under accession number 51244a, however I was not able to find this specimen in ZMB collection. Probably, it is still placed among other syntypes under No. 51244. Both type specimens represent subadult shells.

Type locality.

Panama (southern), Bugaba.

Current taxonomic allocation.

Pseudosuccinea columella (Say, 1817).
