Moricand, 1834 Fig. 123 Helix ( Cochlodina ) pantagruelina S. Moricand, 1834: 542 , pl. 1 fig. 7. – S. Moricand, 1836: 440 . – Breure, 2013: 37 , figs 30F, 30iii. Type locality: [ Brazil ] “le Brésil”. Label: “ Bahia ”, in Moricand’s handwriting. Dimensions: “Long 6 cent. 5 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 52.9, D 21.2, W 7.3 . Type material: MHNG-INVE-64695, 15 syntypes ; 64700, two syntypes (ex Blanchet, Moricand coll.). Remarks: Moricand wrote in his original paper “les deux [individus] que j’ai reçus moi-même”, suggesting that this lot is the original series. Compare to Moricand (1836: 440) , where he wrote “je n’avais alors qu’un seul exemplaire à ma disposition”, which seems in contrast with his earlier text; however, from his text it is clear that some errors were made during type setting of his original paper, which he corrected in his 1836 paper. If there originally was only one specimen it may either have been lost or mixed up with the others, which were apparently received at a later stage. Evidence for this is the distinction of three varieties in his second paper, of which only one (γ minor ) is an available name (see above). The labels, possibly in J. Moricand’s hand, show descriptive terms ( peristomate albo , peristomate carneo ), which have not been used by S. Moricand in his description. As the lot cannot be untangled all specimens are considered as syntypes . Three syntypes (‘paratypes’) were found in the database of MCZ, registered as MCZ 26235. Current systematic position: Odontostomidae , Burringtonia pantagruelina (S. Moricand, 1834 ) .
