Type locality. "Mexico" . Label. "Mexico" , taxon label in Pfeiffer's handwriting. M.C. label style III. Dimensions. "Diam. maj. 20 1/2, alt. 12 mill.". Figured specimen H 14.1, D 19.0, W 3.4. Type material. NHMUK 1975486, lectotype and one paralectotype (Cuming coll.). Remarks. Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Two specimens have been found in the collection, of which one is designated lectotype ( design. n. ) to fixate this poorly understood species. This taxon was compared to Simpulopsis aenea by Pilsbry (1899) , but has not been recognised by later authors. Richardson's references ( 1995 : 363) to a citation for Venezuela [ Richards and Wagenaar Hummelinck 1940 : 7] and Brazil [ Jaeckel 1952 : 7] were in error; these authors mentioned " Tomigerus cumingi Pfeiffer" [ Odontostomidae ]. The current systematic position is according to Thompson (2011 : 130), who expressed doubt about the locality from which it was reported. Current systematic position. Simpulopsidae , Simpulopsis (Simpulopsis) cumingi Pfeiffer, 1861.
