Philippines, island of Luzon, Naga, province of South Camerines.
Probable syntypes.
ZMB (see
Vinarski 2016a
for details).
Hubendick (1951)
provided a description of shell, radula and genital morphology of this peculiar species. By its almost globose shell, with extremely reduced spire and extended and reflected mantle border,
B. cumingiana
superficially resembles
M. glutinosa
; however, the alleged phylogenetic affinity between the two snails has been rejected by
Hubendick (1951)
and
Kruglov (2005)
.
Two specimens of
B. cumingiana
originated from Lake Sampaloc (Philippines, Luzon Island; LMBI collection) were dissected during this study. The structure of the copulatory apparatus is typical for radicines. Praeputium is enlarged and widened, its length is around twice that of the penis sheath length (see Fig.
8N
). Penis sheath is short and narrow. The ICA values of the two dissected individuals were 2.11 and 2.13. Both parts of the copulatory apparatus are light-coloured.
B. cumingiana
is endemic to the Philippine Islands (
Hubendick 1951
).
