Type locality.

[Colombia] "Santa Fé de Bogota".

Label.

"Santa Fe da Bogata [sic]"; taxon name in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style III.

Dimensions.

"Long. 38, diam. 14 mill."; figured specimen herein H 37.4, D 17.5, W 6.9.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975191, lectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer described this taxon from Cuming’s collection; he did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Only one specimen was found. On the original label, Pfeiffer has added "(spectatus Reeve t. 81. / f. 601 b.)". Reeve described Bulimus spectatus from specimens in "Mus. Taylor"; his figure does not correspond to the specimen designated as lectotype and we consider Reeve’s taxon to be distinct.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) bogotensis (Pfeiffer, 1855).
