Dimensions.
"Long. 30 millim.; lat. 8 millim."; lectotype H 28.6, D 7.6, W 9.4.
Type material.
NHMUK 1854.12.4.141, lectotype (
d'Orbigny
coll.).
Remarks.
This specimen was thought by
d'Orbigny
to represent
Auricula fuscagula
Lea, 1837 [=
Cyclodontina punctatissima
(Lesson, 1830)], which is, however, a distinct species. The type lot consisted of a second specimen (NHMUK 1854.12.4.142) which indeed belongs to this species described by Lesson. Therefore, to solve the potential confusion, specimen NHMUK 1854.12.4.141 is here designated as lectotype (design. n.) of
Bulimus fuscagula
d'Orbigny
.
Current systematic position.
Odontostomidae
,
Bahiensis fuscagula
(
d'Orbigny
, 1837).
