Figs 26J–L, L1i”Huancabamba in Peru”; see remarks.
”Huancabamba, / Peru 1904”; in Rolle’s handwriting. Another label in pencil indicating that it came from the Fulton collection.
”Alt. 44, diam. max. 24 (..) mm”; figured specimen herein H 42.5, D 21.5 W 6.3.
NHMUK 1947.2.10.1, syntype (ex Rolle).
Rolle did not state on how many specimens his description was based upon. However, the shell height is close to the original measurements and together with the indication ”type” on the label in Rolle’s handwriting, there is no doubt about the status of the specimen. The locality is ambiguous, as there are several places called ”Huancabamba” in Peru. There were, however, several other species described from the same locality, amoung them Columbinia huancabambensis, which is regarded by
Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) abruptus (Rolle, 1904).
http://species-id.net/wiki/Bulimus_abscissus
Figs 26A–C, L1ii”Province of Quito, Ecuador”.

NHMUK 1975497, lectotype; 1975498 five paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).
Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; no variety has been mentioned by him. Two sets of labels are with this lot, which is originating from the Cuming collection; one reading ”Ecuador” in the handwriting of one of Cuming’s secretaries. On both labels the taxon name is in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. One of the lots has been labelled ”abscissus var.” in a later handwriting.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.125, five paralectotypes (d’Orbigny coll.).
d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The types series appears to have been split between the MNHN and NHMUK collections. None of the specimens in London match the original figures, while one of the specimens in Paris is close to the published dimensions. The current systematic position follows the synonymisation of this taxon with Helix hygrohylea d’Orbigny, 1835, by
Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) abyssorum (d’Orbigny, 1835).

”Long. 10, diam. 6 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 13.2, D 7.7, W 5.3.
NHMUK 20100651, two possible syntypes (Cuming coll.).
The specimens found are slightly larger than the original measurements; the largest has shell height 13.2 mm. The material—not accompanied by a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting—is from the Cuming collection, on which Pfeiffer based the description for this taxon; he did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The specimens are treated as possible syntypes.

NHMUK 1975461, lectotype (Cuming coll.).

Figs 14J, L2i[Ecuador, Galápagos, Isla San Cristóbal] ”Chatham Island, Gelepagos”.
”Chatham Is Galapagos”, added on a different label with E.A. Smith’s handwriting. The taxon name is on a second label ”Bulimus achatenellinus [sic] Forbes, figured specimen, Proc Zool Soc (...) fig. 5”. M.C. label style III.
”Long. 19, diam. 10 mill.”; holotype H 19, D 9.52, W 8.7.
NHMUK 1855.4.5.25, holotype (Cuming coll.).
Forbes writes ”This shell (...)”, therefore the single specimen found, together with the indication on the label that it was figured, makes it justifiable to consider it a holotype.
Bulimulidae, Naesiotus achatellinus (Forbes, 1850).

NHMUK 1907.11.21.10, holotype (da Costa coll.).
da Costa wrote ”A rather peculiar shell, unlike any known to the writer, who obtained it at the dispersal of the collection of the late Mr. Miers”; given the singular form, it may be assumed that da Costa only had one specimen at hand.
Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) acuminatus da Costa, 1906.

Pfeiffer described this taxon from Cuming’s collection, but did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The specimen found corresponds to the shell height given by Pfeiffer. This is a case where the locality information provided by Cuming to the describer (viz. Pfeiffer) has been lost; the label ”Ecuador” on the frontside of the wooden tablet has been added in a later handwriting and may be erroneous.

Broderip described this taxon from the Cuming collection, but did not indicate on how many specimens his description was based. These specimens are herein regarded as possible syntypes; one is corresponding to Reeve’s figure. The presence of a label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting together with specimens apparently seen by Reeve as evidenced by the figured specimen, corroborates the assumption (

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; from Pfeiffer 1858 it is clear this he described this taxon from the Cuming collection. The specimen originally figured by
Bulimulidae, Neopetraeus binneyanus (Pfeiffer, 1857).

”Long. 38, diam. 14 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 37.4, D 17.5, W 6.9.
NHMUK 1975191, lectotype (Cuming coll.).
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.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the lot found contains three specimens. The smallest shell of the lot is a juvenile specimen not belonging to this species, and is here excluded from the type material. The locality as originally stated by Pfeiffer seems in error as there is no place with that name in Bolivia; the taxon is now tentatively assigned to the Venezuelan malacofauna.

It may be noted that Lea’s name (Bulimus columbianus) is sufficiently different to retain Pfeiffer’s original taxon name. On the front side, a later hand has written ”Venezuela”, which may be seen as a further precision to reflect the later political-administrative situation. Breure and Borrero (unpublished data) could not recognise this species in the Colombian material they studied.

According to Pfeiffer (1859: 443) the type is in ”Mus. Cuming”. The original specimen appears to be lost. The specimens are labelled ”Bulimus con-/fluens Pfr. var. / Venezuela”. There is no variety mentioned by Pfeiffer, nor in his original paper nor in subsequent publications, which is interpreted as him considering this a variable taxon; the specimens are thus regarded to be from the type series.

In the lower left corner, ”one on right” has been added (probably by E.A. Smith), which seems to indicate that the specimens originally were glued on board. There is a second note ”now marked x”, which apparently refers to the type specimen. See also Bulimus myristicus Reeve, 1849, which is a junior synonym (
