Bulimulus (Scutalus) conispirus Doering 1879: 67.

Type locality.

[Argentina] "la sierra de Tucuman".

Label.

"Oran (Rep. Arg.)", taxon label in Doering’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 21-24mm, lat. 13-16 1/2mm"; figured specimen herein H 21.9, D 14.4, W 4.7.

Type material.

ZMB 34721, one syntype; ex Doering.

Remarks.

Doering did not mention on how many specimens his description was based; however, he gave a range in measurements indicating more than one specimen. The material was received directly from Doering and there is but little doubt about its type status. There are three localities with the name Orán in Argentina: two in Prov. Tucúman, both south of San Miguel de Tucumán, and one in Prov. Salta. The data on the label are thus more specific than the published locality in Doering’s paper. The current systematic position is following Miquel (1993).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx stelzneri (Dohrn, 1875).
