Treatment

Bulimus gloriosus Pfeiffer, 1862 Figs 18iii-iv, L7iv

Bulimus gloriosus Pfeiffer 1862: 387, pl. 37 fig. 4; Pfeiffer 1868b: 14.

Sultana (Metorthalicus) deburghiae (Reeve); Breure and Schouten 1985: 27 (lectotype designation).

Type locality.

"Republic of Ecuador".

Label.

"Republic Ecuador / Mr Fraser", taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style III.

Dimensions.

"Long. 78, diam. 34 mill.". Figured specimen H 75.2, D 39.3, W 5.7+.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975243, lectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the single specimen found has the top damaged. The lectotype designation by Breure and Schouten (1985) may be viewed ambiguously, but as all the qualifying data are given following Recommendation 74C jo. 73C, we feel that this designation qualifies Art. 74.5 ICZN. The current systematic position follows Breure and Schouten (1985).

Current systematic position.

Orthalicidae , Sultana (Metorthalicus) deburghiae (Reeve, 1859).
