: 51.
Type locality.
"Coquimbo, Chile. (Bridges)".
Label.
"Chili"
, in
Albers'
handwriting.
Dimensions.
"Long. 21, diam. 4 1/2 mill."; figured specimen herein H 20.3, D 4.9, W 9.3.
Type material.
ZMB 117777, two probable syntypes; ex Albers coll. No. 17, ex Krantz, ex Cuming coll.
Remarks.
The locality data do not entirely match the published data, but there is no doubt that this material came from the Cuming collection via the German dealer Krantz (see introduction). The type status of the specimens is not disputed; type material of this taxon has not been found in the NHMUK collection (Breure, unpublished data). This taxon is provisionally classified with
Bostryx
sensu lato (
Breure 1979
), for which genus a revision is overdue.
Current systematic position.
Bulimulidae
,
Bostryx terebralis
(Pfeiffer, 1842).
