Remarks.
Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but wrote "[t]his shell approaches nearest to the
Bulimus Taunaisii
, but is certainly distinct". Pfeiffer (1853: 406) considered this taxon a junior subjective synonym of
Bulimus largillierti
Philippi, 1842, which has been followed by later authors. The printed label also mentions this name, and this is consistent with the index (
Reeve 1850 [1848-1850]
: v); the locality
"Brazil"
has been added in a later hand.
Current systematic position.
Megaspiridae
,
Thaumastus largillierti
(Philippi, 1842).
