Dimensions.

Not given; figured specimen herein H 27.0, D 16.1, W 6.3.

Type material.

ZMB 117776, one paralectotype; ex Albers coll. No. 1144, ex Cuming coll.

Remarks.

For an explication of the relation between material described by Reeve and the Cuming collection, see Breure and Ablett (2011: 10, 12). Since Albers received the specimen from Cuming, its type status is not disputed herein. It may be noted that the lectotype material in the NHMUK collection is also labelled "Andes of Peru" ( Breure 1978); the published type locality is thus more detailed than the one found with the type material. The current systematic position is following Breure (1978), but see remarks under the previous taxon.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx rhodolarynx rhodolarynx (Reeve, 1849).
