Bostryx balsanus View in CoL . – Breure, 1978: 53 (lectotype designation).

Type locality: [ Peru] “ Balsa de Cocharcas ” .

Label: “Abancay”.

Dimensions: “Long. 19, diam. 8 1/2 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 17.9, D 8.10. W 6.3.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60244, two possible paralectotypes (Angrand coll.).

Remarks: Morelet did not state on how many specimens his description was based; other type material has been found in NHMUK, including the lectotype. The taxon name is written in pencil, and as the locality is somewhat different from the type locality (but in the same region), the material is considered as possible type material only. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 35).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Bostryx nigropileatus (Reeve, 1849) .
