Type material: MHNG-INVE-60405, 20 + paralectotypes; 60407, five paralectotypes (Angrand coll.) .

Remarks: Morelet (1860) did not state on how many specimens his description was based. In Morelet (1863) the locality is specified as “sur le plateau d’Andamarca”; as there are several places with that name in the region where Angrand travelled, it is not clear which one was meant. The lectotype, from Yucay in the Vilcanota valley, is in the NHMUK collection (Breure & Ablett, 2014).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae, Bostryx tubulatus scalaricostus (Morelet, 1860) .
