Type locality.
[Ecuador] "San José”.
Type material.
MNCN 15.05/1066 (2), MNCN 15.05/3158 (2), syntypes.
Diagnosis.
Shell relatively large, solid, with oblique series of more or less spirally arranged reddish-brown spots, evenly and dense granulation, suture somewhat descending in front and slightly ascending behind lip, aperture broadly ovate, peristome narrowly expanded and reflexed.
Dimensions.
Shell height 74.9, diameter 48.4 mm.
Distribution.
Ecuador, Prov. Napo, Nachiyacu; ibid., Sarayacu (see Weyrauch 1967: 463); ibid., valley of Río Quijos; Prov. Orellana, San José de Suno; Prov. Pastaza, Puyo; ibid., Mera ( Breure and Borrero 2008).
Ecoregion.
Eastern Cordillera real montane forests [NT0121].
Remarks.
The type locality is-according to Weyrauch (1967: 463)-located 50 km E Baeza; this points to Prov. Orellana, San José de Suno, also known as San José Viejo. Bulimus gibbonius Hidalgo, 1870 has the same type locality and is, following the opinion of Pilsbry (Pilsbry 1895 [1895-1896]: 87), a subjective synonym of Bulimus jimenezi Hidalgo, 1872.
