Bulimus flavidus Menke 1829: 6.

Type locality.

Not given.

Label.

"v. Malsburg", in Martens’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

Not given; figured specimen herein H 23.4, D 10.7, W 5.7.

Type material.

ZMB 10338, three probable syntypes; ex von Malsburg coll.

Remarks.

The specimens are only accompanied by a label that states they belonged to the von Malsburg collection, which has been described by Menke (1829). The label gives three names, viz. " Bulimus liliaceus Fér.”, " Bul. flavidus Mke", and " Bulimus roseoflavus m"; the latter name is an unpublished name, in different ink and probably later added. The “m” may possibly refer to “mihi” and would indicate that Martens added this name. Since the specimens originate from the von Malsburg collection and bear Menke’s name (who is known to have corresponded with the ZMB, see below), they are here regarded as probable syntypes.
