Type
locality:

.
Label:

Dimensions:
“Longueur, 13 mill.; largeur, 5 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 12.5, D 5.95,
W 6.2
.
Type material:
MHNG-INVE-64598,
four syntypes
(Moricand coll.).
Remarks:
Moricand did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. Pilsbry (1898 [1897-1898]) placed this taxon under the heading ‘Species of uncertain subgeneric position’, and suggested it might possibly be a
Protoglyptus
species.
Simone (2006)
classified this taxon as a
Rhinus
species
, without further explanation. Upon examination of the
type
material, the protoconch sculpture appears consisting of axial riblets, spaced 1-2 times the width of the riblets, with very fine spiral striation in between the riblets. This places this taxon in the genus
Protoglyptus
Pilsbry, 1897
.
Current systematic position:
Bulimulidae
,
Protoglyptus heterogrammus
(S.
Moricand, 1836
)
(
comb. n.
).
