Remarks.

Fulton (1908) remarked that he had seen four specimens. This specimen is the only one which is marked “type”; the top is damaged and thus the original shell height must have been larger than quoted above. The holotype designation by Breure (1979) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN). During their recent revision, Borrero and Breure (2011) compared the type material to that of Dryptus guerini (Pfeiffer, 1846), but tentatively retained Fulton's taxon as a separate species.

Current systematic position.

Amphibulimidae , Dryptus jubeus (Fulton, 1908).
