Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.124, lectotype and two paralectotypes ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

d’Orbigny 1838 [1834-1847] specifies the type locality as "sur les montagnes des environs de Trujillo", which is in Dept. La Libertad. The lot contains two juvenile, and one adult specimen; the latter corresponds to d’Orbigny’s pl. 34 fig. 15 and is here designated lectotype (design. n.). The arrangement by Richardson (1995: 356), referring d’Orbigny 1837-1838 to Bulinus proteus Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832, may be in error.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Neopetraeus cora ( d’Orbigny, 1835).
