Label. "Perou Huanta", taxon label ( "var." ) in Morelet's handwriting. Dimensions. "Longit. 29; diam. 12 mill."; figured specimen herein H 25.4, D 13.3, W 5.7. Type material. NHMUK 1893.2.4.177-178, two syntypes (Morelet coll.). Remarks. Morelet considered this to be a variable taxon and distinguished explicitly a smaller variety "Testa minor, (...)". Crawford (1939 : 329) compared the two specimens in NHMUK to Scutalus bicolor (Sowerby, 1835), and expressed doubts whether the variety is identical to typical edwardsi ; the typical form is considered by him as a synonym of Scutalus culmineus ( d'Orbigny , 1835). With the current material at hand we prefer to treat Morelet's material as a geographical form. Weyrauch (1967a : 386) considers Morelet's taxon as a subspecies of Scutalus culmineus . This species is now placed in the genus Kuschelenia Hylton Scott, 1951. Current systematic position. Bulimulidae , Kuschelenia (Kuschelenia) culmineus edwardsi (Morelet, 1863) ( comb. n. ).
