Helix costulatus ‘Férussac’ Lamarck, 1822: 122 (in synonymy).

Type locality: [ Australia] “la Nouvelle-Hollande”.

Label: “?”, taxon label in Lamarck’s handwriting.

Dimensions: “Longueur, près d’un pouce [H ~ 27 mm]”; figured specimen herein H 26.0, D 15.6, W 5.4.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-51162 five syntypes (Lamarck coll.).

Remarks: Lamarck did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Kendrick & Wilson (1975) discussed at length the status of these two taxa and the confusion arisen in previous literature with Bothriembryon onslowi (Cox, 1864) . They convincingly showed that both Bulimus inflatus and Helix costulatus share the same type material, and the latter name is applicable for this taxon.

Current systematic position: Bothriembryontidae , Bothriembryon costulatus ( Lamarck, 1822) .
