Bulimus sanchristovalensis Cox 1870: 172, pl. 16 fig. 7.

Eumecostylus sanchristovalensis (Cox); Delsaerdt 2010: 37, pl. 4 figs 7-10 (lectotype designation).

Type locality.

"San Christoval, Solomon Islands".

Label.

"Solomon Isls", taxon label in Cox’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Diameter 1.20, length 1.60 (...) inch [H 40.6 D 30.5 mm; erroneous, see Delsaerdt 2010]"; lectotype H 67.7, D 27.6, W 5.4.

Type material.

NHMUK 1880.12.11.44, lectotype; 1880.12.11.45, one paralectotype, 20070069, five paralectotypes.

Remarks.

In addition, two further specimens are present; of which one is a probable paralectotype (1880.12.11.2) and the other (1877.7.23.23) is non-type material; however, as these specimens were previously mounted on the same board (possibly for display), but subsequently removed from the board, there is now no way of telling which specimen is which.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Eumecostylus sanchristovalensis (Cox, 1870).
