Remarks.

The type locality is now part of Chile, but during the 19th century has also been part of Bolivia and Peru. This taxon has been treated as nomen inquirendum by Breure (1979). Of the five specimens, two are subadult or juvenile. One specimen corresponds to Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 22 fig. 144, and is damaged both at the lip and on the dorsal side of the last whorl.

Current systematic position.
