Bulimulus edwardsi . – Pilsbry, 1897 [ 1897 -1898]: 27, pl. 7 figs 11-13.

Type locality: [ Peru, Dept. Huancavelica] “le type (...) Huancabelica; la variété, (...) vallée de Huanta” [Dept. Ayacucho].

Label: “Huancabelica Pérou ” [60581, 60584], “Acobamba Pérou ” [60584], “Parcos (Altos de Acobamba) Pérou ” [60584].

Dimensions: “Longit. 29; diam. 12 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 33.0, D 14.2, W 5.8.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60581, two (1 + 1) syntypes; 60584, nine (3 + 3 + 3) syntypes (Angrand coll.).

Remarks: Morelet did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. He said this species “habite, dans des conditions différentes, les deux versant[s] de la chaîne de Paucara: le type, du côté d’Huancabelica”; this points to the region east of Huancavelica. One of the specimens from Parcos [60584] seems to fit the left-hand figure in Morelet (1863), one of the specimens from Huancavelica [60581] corresponds to his middle figure. This taxon is currently placed in the genus Kuschelenia Hylton Scott, 1951 .

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Kuschelenia (Kuschelenia) culminea edwardsi ( Morelet, 1863) .
