Remarks.

Kobelt wrote "Das abgebildete Stück liegt in der Paetel’schen Sammlung im Berliner Museum", thus implying that he had only one specimen at hand; it is thus the holotype. The material is accompanied by a label " Bulimus / moussoni / Gräffe”. The latter refers to a manuscript name in Museum Godeffroy (not Bulimus moussoni Pfeiffer, 1853); Crosse (1875: 13) has noted this homonymy and proposed the name Bulimus (Placostylus) graeffei . Kobelt, however, stated that his taxon was different.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae , Callistocharis paeteli (Kobelt, 1890).
