Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; he, however, described this taxon from the collection of Cuming. Three specimens were found, two damaged adults and one juvenile. The protoconch is sculptured with axial wrinkles and spiral lines; this taxon-classified by Breure (1979: 63) with Bulimulus Leach, 1814-is therefore now placed in Simpulopsis Beck, 1837 and is considered as junior subjective synonym of Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea (Moricand, 1836) (comb. n., syn. n.). The taxon is here figured for the first time.

Current systematic position.

Simpulopsidae , Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea (Moricand, 1836).
