Bulimus tupacii . – d’Orbigny, 1837 [1834-1847]: 292, pl. 38 figs 1-5 [19 June / 7 Aug 1837; text 6 May 1838]. – Gray, 1854: 18.

Scutalus tupacii . – Breure, 1975: 1144, pl. 2 fig. 3 (lectotype designation).

Type locality: “provincia Yungasensi (republica Boliviana)”; restricted to Dept. La Paz, Yanacachi ( Breure, 1975 b).

Label: “ Bolivia ”, in Moricand’s handwriting.

Dimensions: “Longit. 4 centim.; latit. 2 centim.”; figured specimen herein H 48.4, D 23.6, W 6+.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60808 , three paralectotypes (ex d’Orbigny, Moricand coll.).

Remarks: d’Orbigny (1835) did not state on how many specimens his description was based. In d’Orbigny 1838 [1834-1847]: 292 he corrected the measurements as “Long. ex 40 ad 75 millim.; lat. ex 12 ad 35 millim.”. In this paper he also specified the localities as “principalement à Yanacache et à Chupé, dans la province de Yungas, et dans celles de Sicasica et d’Ayapaya”; see also Breure (1973: 133, fig. 7). Breure (1975) selected a lectotype from among the syntypes present in the MNHN collection without locality data; further type material is in the NHMUK ( Breure & Ablett, 2014). The current systematic position is according to these authors.

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Kuschelenia (Kuschelenia) tupacii (d’Orbigny, 1835) .
