Type locality. "Mexico" . Label. "Mexico" , added in a later handwriting. M.C. label style I, V. Dimensions. "Long. 28, diam. 10 mill."; figured specimen herein H 27.8, D 10.5, W 7.3. Type material. NHMUK 20100563/1, lectotype; NHMUK 20100563/2-3, two paralectotypes; NHMUK 20100562, three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.). Remarks. The quotation by Richardson (1995 : 196) of 1842 as the year of publication of Bulimus gruneri appears erroneous, as Pfeiffer does not mention this taxon until his 1846 paper. Two lots have been traced, one of which contains a specimen closest matching the original dimensions; this specimen is here designated lectotype ( design. n. ) to define the taxon. The other lot contains one specimen resembling Reeve 1848 [1848-1850] : pl. 51 fig. 332. The locality "Mexico" seems in error, as this taxon has been recognised as a Colombian species (Breure and Borrero, unpublished data) and is now considered as a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus columbianus Lea, 1838 ( syn. n. ). Current systematic position. Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) columbianus (Lea, 1838).
