Not given.

Remarks.

The syntype material mentioned by Breure (1979) has not been located during our study. It is possible that this material has not been registered. However, the NHMUK copy of Reeve (1848-1850) for Bulimus vitrinoides has the species name crossed out and 'citrino-vitreus Moricand’ penciled in. In the general collection one lot was found (registered NHMUK 1841.4.28.110); one specimen matches the illustration but is smaller. These specimens are not considered type material as they are not from the Cuming collection but were 'purchased of M. M. Parreys d’Vienna’.
