Bulimus fourmiersi d'Orbigny, 1837 Figs 16I , L24iii

Bulimus fourmiersi d’Orbigny 1837 [1834-1847]: 273, pl. 30 figs 12-14 [3 April 1837; text 23 April 1838].

Type locality.

[Argentina] "la province de Corrientes, non loin du Rio de Santa-Lucia, au lieu nommé Pasto reito "; see Breure 1973: 133.

Label.

"corrientes Rep. argentina", in d’Orbigny’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 11 millim., lat. 7 millim."; see remarks.

Type material.

NHMUK 1854.12.4.210, lectotype ( d’Orbigny coll.).

Remarks.

The single specimen is severely damaged, and only the upper whorls are retained. The original figures of d’Orbigny, which are heirein designated as lec totype ( design. n.), are figured instead of the type specimen. The protoconch scultpture suggests this taxon to belong to Naesiotus ; more detailed studies are needed to corraborate this classification. According to the collation data the figures were published in 1837, the text in 1838 ( Coan et al. 2013a). Miquel (1989a: 2) considered it as "sp. inquirenda"; Cuezzo et al. (2013: 151) classified it with Bulimulus Leach, 1814.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus fourmiersi ( d’Orbigny, 1837).
