Label.

“Martinique”, "Massif des Pitons", in handwriting of Crosse.

Dimensions.

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

Type material.

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

Remarks.

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.

Current systematic position.

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