Treatment

Bulimus mastersi Cox, 1867 Fig. 5A View Figure 5

Bulimus mastersi Cox 1867: 39; B.J. Smith 1992: 105.

Type locality.

"Port Lincoln, South Australia (Masters)".

Label.

"Flinders Is., S.A.", in a later handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 0.74, diam. 0.45 unc. [H 18.8, D 11.43 mm]"; figured specimen H 17.4, D 11.77, W 4.7.

Type material.

SAMA D11341, one possible syntype.

Remarks.

The specimen is slightly smaller than Cox’ original dimensions, and the label is different from that given by Cox (1867). It is considered a possible syntype as there remains some doubt if this shell was part of the original series.

Current systematic position.

Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon mastersi (Cox, 1867).
