Moricand, 1838 Fig. 44 Helix ( Cochlogena ) aurismuris S. Moricand, 1838: 140 , pl. 3 figs 1-3. – Neubert & Janssen, 2004: 200 , pl. 4 fig. 163. Type locality: [ Brazil ] “la fazenda de Palmeirinha , entre Caxoeira et Jacobina , province de Bahia ”. Label: “à la fazenda de la Palmeirinha / prov. de la Jacobina, sur les vieux arbres / (…) M. Blanchet No 104”, “ Brésil , Jacobina, Blanchet”, in Moricand’s handwriting. Dimensions: “sept lignes dans sa plus grande longueur, et cinq lignes et demie de large” [H 15.75, D 12.4 mm ]; figured specimen herein H 31.5, D 17.1, W 6.0 . Type material: MHNG-INVE-60683, 44 syntypes ; 60686, 48 syntypes (ex Blanchet, Moricand coll.). Remarks: Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based. His dimensions were given in “lignes”, which equals one Swiss ‘ligne’ = 2.2256 mm ; see Rowlett, 2004 ; the difference between the published and actual dimensions are remarkable. The second lot (60686) has only an original label “ No 104 / Helix aurismuris / Nob.”, which may be matched to the other lot where the same number used by Blanchet was found on one of the labels. The “ var. alba ” as given on one of the labels is an unpublished name. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006) . Current systematic position: Bulimulidae , Cochlorina aurismuris ( Moricand, 1838 ) .
