Bulimus coriaceus Pfeiffer 1857a: 318.

Type locality.

[Mexico, Edo. Veracruz] “Cordova”.

Label.

“Mexico”, in Albers’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 18, diam. 9 mill."; figured specimen herein H 12.92, D 8.42, W 5.1.

Type material.

ZMB 117767, one syntype; ex Albers coll. No. 586, ex Cuming coll.

Remarks.

This species was described from material collected by Sallé in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London; type specimens of other species described in the same paper have been found in the NHMUK collection, but not of this taxon (Breure and Ablett, in preparation). Although the shell from the Albers collection is not accompanied by a label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting, its type status is not disputed herein. It is likely a subadult shell. The current systematic position is after Thompson (2011).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bulimulus coriaceus (Pfeiffer, 1857).
