Boyaca´: Villa de Leiva, oak forest near Manantiales de Iguaque , W slope, 2600 m alt., 05 ° 419150N, 73 ° 289530W ( ZMH 4198 View Materials ) .
Shell ( Figure 8)
Conical; apex obtuse; teleoconch with coarse growth-wrinkles, without incised spiral striae; corneous; shining; subtranslucent; 4.25–5 moderately inflated whorls separated by a deep suture; body whorl slightly descending towards the aperture, basally flattened; aperture truncate-rounded, edentate; peristome neither expanded nor reflexed nor thickened; columellar margin slightly dilated, partly covering the narrow umbilicus. Shell measurements and ratios are listed in Tables I and II.
Diagnosis
Pupisoma costulata differs from all other Pupisoma species in the conical shell with more whorls, a flattened base, and coarse growth-wrinkles. In shell shape and size it is most similar to P. mediamericanum .
Remarks
Pupisoma costulata occurs sympatrically with P. comicolense . The range of P. costulata overlaps that of P. mediamericanum , the conchologically most similar species.
Etymology
The species is named after its finely ribbed (Latin costulatus, used as an adjective) shell. Type locality
Colombia, Cundinamarca: La Calera 0.5 km towards Bogota´, farm Las Cabreras, Vereda San Rafael, Andean forest , N slope, 2840 m alt., 04 ° 429300N, 73 ° 589200W .
Distribution ( Figure 13 View Figure 13 )
Pupisoma costulata is known from Andean forests at 2600–2840 m altitude in the Departamentos Cundinamarca and Boyacá and the Distrito Capital in Colombia .
