Bulinus scabiosus Sowerby I 1833b: 74; Sowerby I 1833 [ Sowerby I and II 1832-1841]: fig. 24; Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 14 fig. 84.

Type locality.

[Chile] "ad Cobijam".

Label.

”Peru” (see remarks). M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

Not given; figured specimen herein H 15.9, D 4.9, W 6.8.

Type material.

NHMUK 2011076, three probable syntypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Sowerby described his species from the Cuming museum; see Petit (2009) and Breure and Ablett (2011: 3, 10, 12) for the connection between the Sowerby’s and Cuming. The specimens found-and herein considered as probable syntypes-have also been figured by Reeve, who cited as locality "Cobijam, Peru"; this was correct at the time of collecting, as the area of Cobija only later became part of Chile. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx scabiosus (Sowerby I, 1833).
