Breure, Abraham S. H. & Whisson, Corey S., 2012, Annotated type catalogue of Bothriembryon (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Orthalicoidea) in Australian museums, with a compilation of types in other museums, ZooKeys 194, pp. 41-80 : 55

Bulimus inflatus Lamarck, 1822 Fig. 5C

Bulimus inflatus Lamarck 1822: 122; Mermod 1951: 728, fig. 78.

Helix costulata ‘Férussac’ Lamarck 1822: 122 (in synonymy).

Type material.

MHNG INVE 51162, five syntypes.

Remarks.

Kendrick and Wilson (1975: 307-308) resolved the nomenclatural status of both Lamarckian taxa and have pointed out that the type material of Bulimus inflatus Lamarck is the same as Helix costulata Lamarck; see art. 11.6 jo. 50.7 jo. 72.4.3. ICZN. They considered Mermod’s treatment of this taxon as a lectotype designation ( Kendrick and Wilson 1975: 317, pl. 3 figs 4a-4b). "Mermod was most likely acting as first reviser, but his intention was certainly not to designate a lectotype, even if his statement might be considered as an inadvertent lectotype designation." (Y. Finet, pers. commun.). B.J. Smith (1992: 102-103) erroneously attributed this material to Helix costulata and considered the type material of Bulimus inflatus "presumably lost".

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon costulatus (Lamarck, 1822).
