Type material.

ZMB 34725, two syntypes; ex Doering.

Remarks.

Doering did not state on how many specimens he based his description, but the range in measurements indicates that it was more than one. Although the locality on the label cannot be deciphered completely, it is different from the published type locality. However, it is possible that this locality is more specific as Doering tended to give quite general areas as type locality (see under conospira Doering). The specimens were received directly from him and are considered syntypes. The current systematic position is according to Miquel (1995).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx tortoranus (Doering, 1879).
