Helix (Cochlogena) maximiliana [var. γ] minor S. Moricand, 1836: 431 . – S. Moricand, 1838: 141, pl. 3 fig. 4.

Type locality: [ Brazil, Bahia] “ Illheos ”.

Label: “ Bahia ”, in Moricand’s handwriting.

Dimensions: Not given; figured specimen herein H 38.2, D 25.6, W 4.5.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60152 , 11 syntypes (ex Blanchet, Moricand coll.).

Remarks: Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based. He wrote “bouche blanc”, but three specimens have a black lip. The specimen figured by Moricand (1838: pl. 4 fig. 3; a living specimen, seen from the left-hand side) is difficult to recognize among the specimens, because the colors have faded, and none of the specimens with a white lip show the notch visible in Moricand’s figure. The current systematic position is according Richardson (1995).

Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Auris egregia (Jay, 1836) .
