Bulimus emaciatus Morelet, 1863 Figs 11B, 11ii

Bulimus emaciatus Morelet 1863: 201, pl. 11 fig. 10.

Bostryx emaciatus (Morelet); Breure 1978: 74, fig. 101 (lectotype designation); Breure 1979: 53.

Type locality.

[Peru] "dans les vallées et sur les plateaux de l’interieur de la Sierra, depuis Ayacucho jusqu’au Cuzco".

Label.

“Pérou”. Locality and taxon label in Morelet’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Longit. 22; diam. 5 1/2 mill."; figured specimen H 18.5, D 5.4, W 9.2.

Type material.

RBINS/MT2349, two syntypes, ex Morelet (Dautzenberg coll.).

Remarks.

Dautzenberg documented that these specimens originate from the Morelet collection. It is not clear if Dautzenberg had personal information from Morelet, when he added “Ayacucho” to his own label. Since a lectotype was designated by Breure (1978), the RBINS material will become paralectotypes.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx emaciatus (Morelet, 1863).
