Helix (Bulimus) boissieri S. Moricand, 1846: 156 , pl. 5 figs 24- 25. – Neubert & Janssen, 2004: 202, pl. 17 fig. 207.

Type locality: [ Brazil] “les environs des Bahia [Salvador]” .

Label: “ Bahia ”.

Dimensions: “12 à 13 millimètres de haut et 10 de large”; figured specimen herein H 13.1, D 10.6, W 3.8.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-64622, three probable syntypes (ex Moricand, Brot coll.).

Remarks: Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the material from the Brot collection originates from Moricand, but as it remains unsure whether they belonged to the original series or not, the specimens are regarded as probable type material. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).

Current systematic position: Simpulopsidae , Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) boissieri (S. Moricand, 1846) .
