Type locality: “culminibus Andesensibus, republica Boliviana” (see remarks).

Label: “ Bolivie, sommet des Andes”, in Moricand’s handwriting.

Dimensions: “Latit. 17 millim., longit. 13 millim.”; figured specimen herein H 33.2, D 14.4, W 5.9.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60575 , three paralectotypes (ex d’Orbigny, Moricand coll.).

Remarks: d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but mentioned two localities (1837 [1834-1847]: 289): “les montagnes de la province de Carangas, à l’ouest d’Oruro, principalement sur celle du ‘Pucara’, à cinq lieues du bourg de Totora”, and “sur toutes les îles et sur toutes les montagnes du lac de Titicaca”. The specimens from the latter locality are those in the NHMUK collection ( Breure & Ablett, 2014), while those from “Carangas” are in the MNHN collection ( Breure, 1975); the lectotype has been selected from the latter collection. Moricand’s label seems to be a translation of the locality given in d’Orbigny (1835).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Kuschelenia (Kuschelenia) culminea (d’Orbigny, 1835) .
