Label.

Dimensions.

"Long. 26-30; diam. 9-10 mill."; figured specimen herein H 29.5, D 12.12, W 7+.

Type material.

NHMUK 1893.2.4.171, lectotype (Morelet coll.).

Remarks.

The type locality was broadly defined by Morelet and probably also covers adjacent parts of Dept. Apurimac. There are two places called ”Pomacocha” in the valley of Río Apurimac, one in Dept. Ayacucho and the other in Dept. Apurimac. Given the range in dimensions given by Morelet, it is clear that he had a larger type series at hand. The top of the lectotype is slightly damaged. There are additional lots in the MHNG collection, as described by Breure 1978. The current systematic position corresponds to Richardson (1995: 16).

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Bostryx andoicus (Morelet, 1863).
