Treatment

Bulimus meobambensis Pfeiffer, 1855 Figs 17iii-iv, L13ii

Bulimus meobambensis Pfeiffer 1855c: 96; Pfeiffer 1859: 586.

Orthalicus meobambensis ; Pilsbry 1899: 191.

Type locality.

"Meobamba, Eastern Peru (Mr. Yates)".

Label.

"Meobamba / East Peru", taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style IV.

Dimensions.

"Long. 88, diam. 46 mill.". Figured specimen H 84.9, D 52.8, W 6.4.

Type material.

NHMUK 20100505, two syntypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based. There is no doubt, however, about the type status of the specimens found as he described this taxon from the Cuming collection and the taxon label is-although in pencil-in his handwriting. This is the first time this material is figured; Strebel (1909: pl. 29 fig. 429) figured a specimen from Huagabamba, Peru that E.A. Smith considered conspecific.

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Sultana (Sultana) meobambensis (Pfeiffer, 1855).
