"Long. 43, diam. 25-26 mill.". Figured specimen H 54.8, D 29.7, W 6.9.

Type material.

NHMUK 20140081, three syntypes, Boucard leg. (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The specimens found are larger than the measurements given by Pfeiffer, but undoubtedly were collected by Mr. Boucard, bear Pfeiffer’s handwriting, and are considered syntypes herein. The type locality (Oaxaca, Sierra de Betaza) was specified by Martens 1893 [1890-1901]: 101 on the basis of Boucard’s material. The current systematic position follows Thompson (2011: 101).

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Orthalicus boucardi (Pfeiffer, 1860).
