Type material.

NHMUK 1975418, lectotype; 1975419, two paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The taxon label in Pfeiffer’s hand is only partially conserved. Later authors have recognized this taxon as a Mexican species (see e.g., Martens 1893 [1890-1901]: 252); Pilsbry (1897 [1897-1898]) included this taxon under Bulimulus section Sonorina . The current systematic position follows the generic re-arragement of A.G. Smith et al. (1990: 118), who list a number of localities in Mexico, Baja California.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Naesiotus rimatus (Pfeiffer, 1847).
