“Huancabamba in Peru”; see remarks.

“Huancabamba, / Peru 1904”; in Rolle’s handwriting. Another label, in Dautzenberg’s handwriting, indicating that he obtained it on 16.vii.1907 from Rolle.

“Alt. 44, diam. max. 24 (..) mm”; figured specimen H 36.6, D 16.9, W 6.5.

RBINS/MT2332, two syntypes (Dautzenberg coll.).

Rolle did not state on how many specimens his description was based upon. However, there is another specimen in the NHM collection which will be designated lectotype (Breure and Ablett, unpublished data). The locality is ambiguous, as there are several places called “Huancabamba” in Peru. There were, however, several other species described by Rolle from the same locality, among them Columbinia huancabambensis, which is regarded by Loosjes and Loosjes-van Bemmel (1984: 33) as occurring in northern Peru. Another species described in the same paper, Systrophia moellendorffii, was said by Haas (1955: 367) to have been rediscovered in the Chanchamayo valley [Dept. Pasco]. These, and the fact that a third Rolle species, Newboldius illustris is known to occur in the same region, makes Dept. Pasco, Huancabamba likely to be the locality where Rolle’s taxa occur.

Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) abruptus (Rolle, 1904).

“long. 25 mm; diam. 9 à 10 mm”; figured specimen H 25.2, D 11.0, W 8.2.

RBINS/MT2333, paralectotype; MT2334, 12 paralectotypes (partly juvenile), Cousin leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The material which Breure (1975) used to select a lectotype, came from the Jousseaume collection and originated from Cousin. However, the locality was imprecise (“Équateur” [Ecuador]). At that time, no other material from Cousin was known. In RBINS, material originating from Cousin and exactly corresponding to the type locality has been found. Therefore it may now be questioned if the Jousseaume material was validly regarded as the prime type material. However, in the inventory of Cousin’s collection, a total of 30 specimens is mentioned and it cannot be excluded that Jousseaume’s material originated from the Cousin collection.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx alausiensis (Cousin, 1887).

[Ecuador, Galápagos, Isla Isabela] “near [Puerto] Villamil at 2300 to 3300 feet elevation”.

“Near Villamil / Albemarle Isl., Galapagos” on label of Stanford University.

“Length of shell 15, (...) diameter 9 mm”; largest specimen H 13.6, D 9.0, W 5.6.

RBINS/MT1911, two paratypes, Ochsner leg.

The material was donated by H.G. Schenk. For data on the role of Schenck and the relationship between Stanford University and RBINS, see Keen (1980).

Bulimulidae, Naesiotus albemarlensis (Dall, 1917).

“Longit 28, diam. 9 mm”; figured specimen H 22.2, D 9.76, W 5+.

RBINS/MT2335, one syntype, ex Morelet (Dautzenberg coll.).

Additional syntype material is present in the MHNG and NHM collections.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx orophilus (Morelet, 1860).

[Ecuador] “Îles Galapagos”.

“I. Galapagos”, in Ancey’s handwriting.

“Long., 9 1/2; diam., 4 2/3 mill.”; figured specimen H 9.25, D 4.5, W 7.0.

RBINS/MT1866, lectotype (design. n.), ex Géret ex Ancey (Dautzenberg coll.).

Ancey writes that this species may only be compared to Naesiotus calvus (Sowerby, 1833), which was described from Isla San Salvador. However, Parent and Crispi (2006) found Naesiotus amastroides on Isla San Cristobal and suggested that its closest relative is Naesiotus snodgrassi (Dall, 1900).

Bulimulidae, Naesiotus amastroides (Ancey, 1887).

“N. Cal.” in Dautzenberg’s handwriting.

Not given. Figured specimen H 81.7, D 42.0, W 5.7.

RBINS/MT2339. One possible syntype (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimen has a label glued onto the dorsal side “Bulimus / P[seu?]do-Caledonicus”. Dautzenberg (1923) explicitly stated there were two lots each with one specimen of this variety. This lot possibly may be attributed to one of these, although no specific locality is present with the specimen. Another lot, consisting of three specimens, is not considered type material. This variety has been synonymized with the nominate taxon by Neubert et al. (2009).

Bothriembryontidae, Placostylus caledonicus (Petit, 1845).

“Iocos (Peruvia) Baer legit. 1900”; see remarks.

“Iocos Pérou / Baer legit.”, in Dautzenberg’s handwriting.

“Altit. 14 1/2, latit. 3 1/2 millim.”; figured specimen H 13.6, D 3.1, W 10.1.

RBINS/MT2336, three paralectotypes, Baer leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

Dautzenberg (1901a) states in his paper that his description is based on four specimens. The holotype designation of a specimen in the MNHN collection (Fischer-Piette 1950) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN); the measurements of this specimen closely match those given by Dautzenberg (Breure 1975b). The type locality is probably Jocos in Dept. La Libertad [8°14'S, 77°28'W].

Bulimulidae, Bostryx baeri (Dautzenberg, 1901).

[Ecuador] “îles Galapagos”.

“I Galapagos”, also stating “type de var. bizonalis Anc.”, in Ancey’s handwriting.

Not given. Figured specimen H 16.0, D 6.3, W 7.5.

RBINS/MT2337, one syntype, ex Géret ex Ancey ex Deshayes (Dautzenberg coll.).

Ancey did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Therefore, the specimen is considered a syntype.

Bulimulidae, Naesiotus eschariferus (Sowerby, 1833).

“Iquico, Bolivia, 3500 m. above the sea (fide Fulton)”; see remarks.

“Iquico / Bolivia / 3500 mtr.”, in Fulton’s handwriting. Taxon label in Dautzenberg’s handwriting.

“Long. 55, lat. 25 1/2 mill.”; figured specimen H 52.5, D 25.1, W 6.1.

RBINS/MT1865, lectotype (design. n.), ex Géret ex Ancey (Dautzenberg coll.).

Ancey did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Despite the fact that the specimen is slightly smaller than published by Ancey, there is enough evidence to consider this shell as from the original type series. It is now designated lectotype.

The type locality probably refers to Dept. La Paz, Ikiko [16°34'S, 67°44'W], where elevations around 3500 m are found.

Megaspiridae, Thaumastus (Thaumastus) blanfordianus (Ancey, 1903).

“Bolivie (teste A. Bonnet)”.

“Bolivie”; see remarks.

“Long. 23 1/2, lat. 13 mill.”; figured specimen H 21.9, D 14.7, W 5+.

RBINS/MT2338, one paralectotype, ex Géret ex Ancey (Dautzenberg coll.).

Wood and Gallichan (2008) discussed the different labels of Fulton, Ancey and Dautzenberg. They argued for a syntypic status of this specimen, and for the material that is in the MNHN collection, which was regarded as the holotype by Fischer-Piette (1950); according to Art. 74.6 ICZN the MNHN specimen has to be regarded as a lectotype. The shell height of the MNHN-specimen is 22.0 mm, thus not corresponding to the original measurements given by Ancey. Breure (1975b) followed the designation as holotype by Fischer-Piette, being unaware of a second specimen in RBINS. The top of this specimen is damaged and it is likely that the original shell height was closer to Ancey’s dimensions.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx bonneti (Ancey, 1902).

[Bolivia, Dept. Tarija] “Mission de San Francisco, sur le haut-Pilcomayo en Bolivie”.

“Mission / de San Francisco / Haut-Pilcomayo, Bolivie”, in Ancey’s handwriting.

[Measurements of three specimens given] “a) Long 34, lat. 11 mill.—b) Long 31, lat. 9 mill.—c) Long. 32, lat. 10 1/2 mill.”; largest figured specimen H 28.8, D 10.3, W 8.8.

RBINS/MT2340, two syntypes, ex Géret ex Ancey, Borelli leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimens are smaller than the measurements given by Ancey, although they are from the type locality. This taxon was hitherto classified as Drymaeus. However, the sculpture of the protoconch shows very fine spiral lines and dispersed granules, more or less axially arranged. It thus belongs to Bostryx (s.l.).

Bulimulidae, Bostryx borellii (Ancey, 1897) (comb. n.).

[Bolivia, Dept. Chuquisaca] “Carandaiti, province of Cordillera, Bolivia, 1000 metres”.

“Carandaiti / Prov. of Cordillera 1000 metres / Bolivia (co-type)”, in Preston’s handwriting.

“Alt. 35, diam. maj. 14 mill.”; figured specimen H 32.1, D 12.9, W 9.3.

RBINS/MT2341, one syntype, ex Preston (Dautzenberg coll.).

This taxon was hitherto regarded a Drymaeus species, but the protoconch is smooth (not worn) in both specimens examined. It is here tentatively placed in Bostryx, despite the fact that the colour pattern of the specimen in RBINS is unlike the ones normally found in this genus.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx carandaitiensis (Preston, 1907) (comb. n.).

[Bolivia, Dept. Tarija] “Caiza, Gran Chaco (Bolivie)”.

“Caiza, Chaco de Bolivie”, in Ancey’s handwriting.

[Measurements of three specimens given] “a) Long. 22, lat. 7 1/2 mill—b) Long. 22, lat. 8 mill.—c) Long. 18, lat. 7 1/2 mill.”; figured specimen H 20.9, D 7.7, W 8.5.

RBINS/MT2342, lectotype (design. n.), ex Géret ex Ancey, Borelli leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The RBINS material corresponds with the original measurements and is here designated lectotype. The shell shape, especially the flaring basal lip, and the number of whorls (8+) are not typical for Naesiotus, and this species is only tentatively placed here. Miquel (1989: 62) suggested a possible synonymy with Naesiotus rocayanus (d’Orbigny, 1835); this has to be ascertained by further comparison of type material.

Bulimulidae, Naesiotus montivagus (d’Orbigny, 1835).

“To the north of the Rio Pilcomayo, Chaco, Bolivia”.

“N of riv. Pilcomayo / Chaco Bolivie 600 m / alt. (co-type)”; label in Dautzenberg’s handwriting, see remarks.

“Alt. 30, diam. maj. 9.5 mm”; figured specimen H 30.1, D 10.1, W 8.1.

RBINS/MT2343, one syntype, ex Preston (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimen is not accompanied by an original Preston label. As Dautzenberg always accurately documented on his labels the source and date of his acquisition (in this case “Preston 14.xi.07”), there is hardly any doubt that this is an original type specimen. The protoconch is smooth, confirming that this taxon should be classified within Bostryx (cf. Breure 1979: 52).

Bulimulidae, Bostryx chacoensis (Preston, 1907).

[Mexico] “Colima”.

“Colima Mexico”; label in Dautzenberg’s handwriting, see remarks.

“Alt. 31, diam. 15 mm.”; figured specimen H 29.1, D 14.1, W 6.3.

RBINS/MT2344, two paralectotypes, ex Rolle (Dautzenberg coll.).

This material is not accompanied by an original Rolle label, but Dautzenberg documented that he received the shells from him on 16.vii.1907. The fact that Rolle was a dealer may account for the delay between the time of publication and the acquisitions by Dautzenberg. The material is from the type locality and is here considered as syntypes. Köhler (2007) selected a lectotype from the ZMB material, thus these specimens are paralectotypes.

Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) colimensis (Rolle, 1904).

“la province de Cumana, dans la Colombie [sic, Venezuela]”.

“Colombie / Cumana”, indicating “Type (Nyst)” in Nyst’s handwriting.

“49 millimètres de longueur sur 30 de largeur [H 49 D 30]”; lectotype H 47.3, D 29.2, W 4.7.

RBINS/MT2345, lectotype (design. n.); MT2346, paralectotype, ex Nyst.

The type material was found in the RBINS collection and is now figured for the first time since the original publication. Of the two specimens present, one shows the ‘yellow shadow’ which is characteristic for this species, and is here designated lectotype. The taxon is only known from confirmed localities in northern Colombia; the original locality, which is in Venezuela, Edo. Sucre, seems erroneous. The type locality is now restricted to Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

Amphibulimidae, Plekocheilus (Eurytus) coloratus (Nyst, 1845).

RBINS/MT1833, two paratypes, Ochsner leg.

The material was donated by H.G. Schenk.

Bulimulidae, Naesiotus cucullinus (Dall, 1917).

Not given.

[Colombia] “Sierra de Santa Marta”, in Dautzenberg’s handwriting.

“Longit.: 26 millim., latit.: 16 millim.”; H 26.3, D 15.3, W 4.0.

RBINS/MT668, lectotype (design. n.); MT2347, two paralectotypes (Dautzenberg coll.).

Dautzenberg did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but one of the specimens corresponds to the original dimensions and agrees with his figure. This shell is here designated lectotype. The label states that it was collected on 15.iii.1896, which corresponds with the date of excursion to Sierra de Santa Marta mentioned in the station list (Dautzenberg 1900: 147).

Amphibulimidae, Plekocheilus (Eurytus) dalmasi (Dautzenberg, 1900).

[Brazil] “Santa Catharina (fide Linnaea Institute label)”.

“St. Catharina”; see remarks.

“Maj. diam. 10, alt. 29 mm.”; figured specimen H 28.0, D 10.0, W 7.6.

RBINS/MT2348, one syntype, ex Sowerby and Fulton (Dautzenberg coll.).

During a recent visit to the NHM, another specimen was found which will be designated lectotype (Breure and Ablett, unpublished data). The Brussels specimen thus will become a paralectotype. Although the specimen is not accompanied by an original Fulton label, Dautzenberg has noted on his label that he purchased this specimen from Sowerby and Fulton on 27.ii.1907. The generic placement of this taxon is somewhat puzzling. Three taxa may be considered, viz. Protoglyptus, Naesiotus, and Rhinus. The protoconch sculpture consists of axial wrinkles, partly broken into granules, which is a sculpture not characteristic for Protoglyptus nor Naesiotus. However, there is considerable variation in protoconch sculpture within these two taxa (Breure and Coppois 1978: Table II), and therefore it is difficult to decide on a generic placement on the basis of this characteristic alone. Further differences between the two genera are discussed by Breure and Coppois (1978: 163–165), who synonymized Protoglyptus with Naesiotus. The surface of the shell is partially sculptured with spiral series of granules, denoting an epidermis covered with hairs when fresh; this characteristic has been observed in all three groups. However, it must be noted that the shell shape is aberrant for Rhinus, and the anatomy of this species is unknown. Together with the results of Breure and Romero (in preparation), it seems justified to retain a tentative classification with Protoglyptus, which is now treated as a separate genus again. Study of live-collected specimens may shed new light on its classification.

Bulimulidae, Protoglyptus dejectus (Fulton, 1907).

“Nouvelle-Calédonie, St. Vincent (Coll. D. ex Rossiter)”.

“St. Vincent”, in Dautzenberg’s handwriting.

“hauteur 88 millim. Diam. max. 36 millim.”; lectotype H 86.3, D 37.8, W 7.3.

RBINS/MT702, lectotype (design. n.), Rossiter leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimen was marked by Dautzenberg as “type”. As he did not state how many specimens he had seen, the shell is here designated lectotype. Neubert et al. (2009) have placed this taxon in the synonymy of the nominate form of Placostylus porphyrostomus (Pfeiffer, 1851).

Bothriembryontidae, Placostylus porphyrostomus (Pfeiffer, 1851).

“Pérou”. Locality and taxon label in Morelet’s handwriting.

“Longit. 22; diam. 5 1/2 mill.”; figured specimen H 18.5, D 5.4, W 9.2.

RBINS/MT2349, two syntypes, ex Morelet (Dautzenberg coll.).

Dautzenberg documented that these specimens originate from the Morelet collection. It is not clear if Dautzenberg had personal information from Morelet, when he added “Ayacucho” to his own label. Since a lectotype was designated by Breure (1978), the RBINS material will become paralectotypes.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx emaciatus (Morelet, 1863).

“Bahia, Brazil (teste H. Fulton)”.

“Bahia” in Fulton’s handwriting; taxon name in Ancey’s handwriting.

“Longit. 20, diam. 12 mill.”; lectotype H 19.5, D 12.5, W 5.5.

RBINS/MT2350, lectotype (design. n.), ex Géret ex Ancey (Dautzenberg coll.).

Breure (1978) mentioned that he had found syntypes in both the NHM and RBINS collections and figured the species for the first time. He redescribed the species but noted that its classification remained doubtful. Nevertheless he arranged it under Bulimulus in his 1979 revision. Upon restudying both specimens, it is clear that the protoconch sculpture is quite different from the pattern normal for that genus; especially the thin spiral lines give a strong hint that it should be separated. For that reason it cannot be classified with Rhinus either, although it bears resemblance in shell shape to species of that genus. It is now considered as Simpulopsis (Eudioptus), where it is the largest species. The RBINS specimen is here designated as lectotype.

Simpulopsidae, Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) ephippium (Ancey, 1904).

“Venezula (sic) / Cumana”, in Nyst’s handwriting.

“60 millimètres de longeur sur 28 de largeur”; lectotype H 59.2, D 32.4, W 4.8.

RBINS/MT2351, lectotype (design. n.), ex Nyst.

The specimen corresponds to the original measurements given by Nyst, whose label is dated 1874 and indicated “type”. As there is no evidence that the description of Nyst was based on one specimen, it is here designated lectotype.

Amphibulimidae, Plekocheilus (Plekocheilus) fulminans (Nyst, 1843).

“la Colombie [sic, Venezuela], dans la province de Cumana [Edo. Sucre]”.

“Venezuela / Cumana”, in Nyst’s handwriting.

“90 millimètres de longeur sur 40 de largeur ”; lectotype H 86.3, D 44.5, W 5.5.

RBINS/MT2352, lectotype (design. n.), ex Nyst.

Nyst (1843) did not indicate that he only had an unique type at hand. In his label dated 1874, he indicated this specimen as “type”; it is now designated as lectotype.

Amphibulimidae, Dryptus funckii (Nyst, 1843).

[Ecuador] “Galápagos, Santa Cruz, à proximité du Cerro Coralon”.

“Galapagos, Santa Cruz, (...) Cerro Coralon”, in Van Mol’s handwriting.

“Hauteur 25.3 Largeur max. 15.5 (mm)”; holotype H 25.4, D 15.6 W 6.6.

RBINS/MT106, holotype; MT107, one paratype; MT108, 19 paratypes, all Van Mol leg., 27.x.1970.

This taxon was published on 10.ix.1972; A.G. Smith published a paper in which he described the same species as Naesiotus cavagnaroi on 21.i.1972. Breure and Coppois (1978: 170) synonymized Bulimulus gilderoyi Van Mol with Naesiotus cavagnaroi A.G. Smith, as a junior subjective synonym.

Bulimulidae, Naesiotus cavagnaroi A.G. Smith, 1972.

[U.S.A., Texas] “east side of the Pecos [river] at the High Bridge”.

“near Pecos river / Texas”; see remarks.

“34 mm. long, 17.4 mm. diameter”; figured specimen H 34.2, D 17.2, W 7.7.

RBINS/MT2353, two probable paratypes, ex Eyerdam, J.H. Ferriss leg., 1924 (Dautzenberg coll.).

Pilsbry and Ferriss (in Ferris 1924) state they have selected a specimen as type, which according to H.B. Baker (1962) is holotype ANSP 84627a. As the label states that the material was collected by Ferriss in 1924, it probably belongs to the original type series. The locality—although more vaguely formulated on the label—corresponds to the area mentioned by Ferriss (1924) for the type series.

Bulimulidae, Rabdotus alternatus (Say, 1829).

“Huayabo (Marañon) Pérou, à 2000 m. d’altitude”.

RBINS/MT2354, five paralectotypes, Baer leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The holotype designation of a specimen in the MNHN collection (Fischer-Piette 1950) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN); the measurements of this specimen closely match those given by Dautzenberg (Breure 1975b).

Bulimulidae, Bostryx huyaboensis (Dautzenberg, 1901).

“Province of Matto-Grosso, Brazil (Germain)”.

“Matto-Grosso”, in Ancey’s handwriting.

RBINS/MT1881, one syntype, ex Géret ex Ancey, P. Germain leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

Ancey (1892) states that he had seen two specimens. The whereabouts of the other syntype is unknown.

Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) poecilus ictericus (Ancey, 1892).

“Merida, Venezuela”.

“Merida Venezuela”; see remarks.

“Alt. 25, diam. maj. 10.5 mm”; figured specimen H 23.6, D 10.6, W 6.1

RBINS/MT2257, one syntype, ex Preston (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimen is not accompanied by the original Preston label, but Dautzenberg documented that the shell was acquired on 19.xii.1907 from Preston as a “co-type”. It is therefore considered a syntype. See also pallidus Preston, 1909.

Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) granadensis (Pfeiffer, 1848).

RBINS/MT2355, two paralectotypes, Bear leg., 1900 (Dautzenberg coll.).

Dautzenberg (1901a) remarked that he had seen three specimens. The holotype designation of a specimen in the MNHN collection (Fischer-Piette 1950) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN); the measurements of this specimen closely match those given by Dautzenberg (Breure 1975b). The RBINS material should thus be considered paralectotypes. The type locality is probably Jocos in Dept. La Libertad [8°14'S, 77°28'W].

Bulimulidae, Bostryx iocosensis (Dautzenberg, 1901).

“Rio Mixiollo, Province Huallaga, Pérou” [Dept. San Martin].

RBINS/MT2356, two paralectotypes, Baer leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

Dautzenberg (1901c: 309) reports to have seen three specimens. The holotype designation of a specimen in the MNHN collection (Fischer-Piette 1950) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN); the measurements of this specimen closely match those given by Dautzenberg (Breure 1975b). The RBINS material should thus be considered paralectotypes.

RBINS/MT2357, seven paralectotypes, Cousin leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The lectotype is in the MNHN collection (Breure 1975b). According to the inventory of Cousin’s collection, there were originally 35 specimens present.

In the inventory of Cousin’s collection, a total of 11 specimens is mentioned for this variety. From among the specimens in RBINS, a lectotype is here designated and the taxon is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus thompsonii Pfeiffer, 1845 (syn. n.).

“Long. 19 mill., diam. maj. 7”; figured specimen H 14.5, D 5.9, W 6.4.

RBINS/MT2360, one paralectotype, ex Crosse, Mazé leg. (Dautzenberg coll.).

The holotype designation of a specimen in the MNHN collection (Fischer-Piette 1950) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN); the measurements of this specimen closely match those given by Crosse (Breure 1975b). The RBINS material should thus be considered a paralectotype; it is a subadult specimen.

Bulimulidae, Protoglyptus mazei (Crosse, 1874) (comb. n.).

“l’Amérique mériodionale, au Pampas”.

“Amerique mériodionale / (Pampas) / Pampaijacu”, in Nyst’s handwriting.

“longeur de 80 millimètres sur 35 de largeur”; lectotype H 78.5, D 36.6, W 6.2.

RBINS/MT2361, lectotype (design. n.), ex Nyst.

The specimen is accompanied by a label of Nyst, dated 1874, and marked “type Nyst”. Nyst (1845b) writes “cette belle coquille”, but this is here—following ICZN Recommendation 73F—not interpreted as a holotype; the specimen is now designated as lectotype. The locality “ Pampaijacu” (or Pampayacu) is found only in Peru, both in Dept. Lima and Dept. Huánuco. Since the former is at 3800 m and beyond the altitudinal range known for this genus (0–2300 m; Breure 1979), the type locality is probably Pampayacu in Dept. Huánuco [09°33'S, 75°54'W, 1150 m].

Megaspiridae, Thaumastus (Thaumastus) melanocheilus (Nyst, 1845).

“Peru”.

“Peru”.

RBINS/MT2362, seven paratypes.

The specimens were exchanged with FMNH and originate from the original series as deposited in the Museo de Historia Natural in Lima; see also Neubert and Janssen (2004) for a recent re-illustration.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx metagyra Pilsbry and Olsson, 1949.

“le Haut-Pérou”.

“Andes / Pérou” (handwriting of Dupuis?).

“Longit. 14 millim., latit. 6 1/2 millim.”; figured specimen H 13.9, D 6.2, W 9.4.

RBINS/MT1830, one syntype, ex P. Dupuis.

The specimen is labelled “co-type” but fits the original measurements. It is not accompanied by a Dautzenberg label; however, its type status is not questioned here as Paul Dupuis is known to have been in close contact with Dautzenberg (Duchamps 1999).

Bulimulidae, Bostryx moniezi (Dautzenberg, 1896).

[Ecuador, Prov. Azuay] “Cuença”.

“Cuenca, Ecuador”; see remarks.

Not given. Lectotype H 62.8, D 30.3, W 6.1.

RBINS/MT2363, lectotype (design. n.); MT2364, three paralectotypes, ex Cousin (Dautzenberg coll.).

The original Cousin label mentions the taxon name only; the locality has been added by Dautzenberg, probably on the basis of Cousin’s paper. One specimen was found with the Cousin label stuffed inside the aperture and is here designated lectotype. The taxon is considered a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus thompsonii Pfeiffer, 1845 (syn. n.).

Orthalicidae, Kara thompsonii (Pfeiffer, 1845) (comb. n.).

[Ecuador, Prov. Pichincha] “les bords du chemin qui conduit de Pomasqui à Chilguiltina”.

“chemin de Pomasqui à Chilguiltina” in Dautzenberg’s handwriting; see remarks.

Not given. Figured specimen H 37.3, D 17.7, W 6.3.

RBINS/MT2365, 13 possible syntypes, ex Cousin (Dautzenberg coll.).

The material is not accompanied by an original Cousin label, but it originates from Cousin; the specimens are treated herein as possible syntypes. This taxon is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus nystianus Pfeiffer, 1853 (syn. n.).

Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) nystianus (Pfeiffer, 1853).

[Ecuador, Prov. Azuay] “Cuença”.

“Cuenca, Ecuador”; see remarks.

Not given. Lectotype H 64.5, D 32.9, W 6.2.

RBINS/MT2366, lectotype (design. n.); MT2367, three paralectotypes, ex Cousin (Dautzenberg coll.).

The original Cousin label mentions the taxon name only; the locality has been added by Dautzenberg, probably on the basis of Cousin’s paper. One specimen was found with the Cousin label stuffed inside the aperture and is here designated lectotype. The taxon is considered a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus thompsonii Pfeiffer, 1845 (syn. n.).

Orthalicidae, Kara thompsonii (Pfeiffer, 1845) (comb. n.).

“Merida, Venezuela”.

“Merida (Venezuela)”; see remarks.

Not given. Figured specimen H 24.0, D 11.0, W 6.2.

RBINS/MT2258, one syntype, ex Preston (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimen is not accompanied by a Preston label, but Dautzenberg documented that he acquired the specimen from Preston on 19.xii.1907; the type status of the specimen is here not contested and it is regarded as a syntype.

Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) granadensis (Pfeiffer, 1848).

[New Zealand, North Island] “one mile south of Cape Maria van Diemen”.

“Headland, 1 mile S. of Cape Maria van / Diemen.”.

“Height 72.25 mm. Diameter 32.0 mm.”; figured specimen H 82.2, D 39.2, W 5.8.

RBINS/MT1969, one paratype, ex L. Germain (Dautzenberg coll.).

The specimen is labelled “paratypes”, despite the fact that it is only one specimen.

Bothriembryontidae, Placostylus ambagiosus (Suter, 1906).

“Ninabamba on the Pampas River, an affluent of the Apurimac River, Peru. Altitude 2, 000 m”.

“Ninabamba, Rio Pampas, 2.000 m. / alt., Peru” typewritten by Weyrauch.

“Height 19.5 mm, width 8.2 mm.”; largest specimen H 20.4, D 7.53, W 9.4.

RBINS/MT2368, two paratypes, W. Weyrauch leg.

The material was exchanged on the basis of material from the Dautzenberg collection (see Introduction) with FMNH, where the holotype of this taxon is kept.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx perforatus (Haas, 1951).
