Gaeotis nigrolineata Shuttleworth, 1854: 35 View in CoL . – Breure, 1974b: 239, figs 4, 8, pl. 1 figs 1-3 (lectotype designation). – Neubert & Gosteli, 2003: 39, pl. 7 fig. 3.

Type locality: [ Puerto Rico] “ Sierra de Luquillo ”.

Label: “ Luquillo / Portorico”.

Dimensions: “Diam. maj. 12; Alt. circa 3 1/2 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 6.0, D 9.0, W 2.0.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-64746 , three possible paralectotypes (ex Shuttleworth, Brot coll.).

Remarks: Shuttleworth did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the lectotype is in the NMBE ( Neubert & Gosteli, 2003). One of the labels accompanying the specimens shows two handwritings, of which the lower left text (in brownish ink) is in the handwriting of Brot, the other is not in Shuttleworth’s hand (E. Neubert, pers. commun.), but as the material is ex Shuttleworth it is here considered as possible type material.

Current systematic position: Amphibulimidae , Gaeotis nigrolineata Shuttleworth, 1854 .
