Remarks.

Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but wrote "[t]his shell approaches nearest to the Bulimus Taunaisii, but is certainly distinct". Pfeiffer (1853: 406) considered this taxon a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus largillierti Philippi, 1842, which has been followed by later authors. The printed label also mentions this name, and this is consistent with the index ( Reeve 1850 [1848-1850]: v); the locality “Brazil” has been added in a later hand.

Current systematic position.

Megaspiridae , Thaumastus largillierti (Philippi, 1842).
