Bulimus emaciatus Morelet 1863: 201, pl. 11 fig. 10.

Bostryx emaciatus (Morelet); Breure 1978: 74, fig. 101 (lectotype designation); Breure 1979: 53.

Type locality.

[Peru] "dans les vallées et sur les plateaux de l’interieur de la Sierra, depuis Ayacucho jusqu’au Cuzco".

Label.

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

Dimensions.

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

Type material.

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

Remarks .

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.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae, Bostryx emaciatus (Morelet, 1863).
