Type locality. "Chili (T. Bridges)". Label. "Chili" . M.C. label style I. Dimensions. "Long. 19, diam. 7 1/2 mill."; figured specimen herein H 19.1, D 8.1, W 6.2. Type material. NHMUK 20100565.1-4, lectotype and three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.). Remarks. Pfeiffer described this species from H. Cuming's collection, but did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Reeve described the same material ("Chili; Bridges") as Bulimus meridionalis [June 1848, not Bulimus meridionalis Reeve Dec. 1848 (pl. 56 fig. 370)]. In the index ( Reeve 1850 [1848-1850] : ix) he corrected this to "Voithianus, Pfr .", apparently having realized that Pfeiffer's taxon was the same; this has escaped the notice of later authors. Thus Bulimus meridionalis Reeve, 1848 [June] is a junior synonym of Bulimus voithianus Pfeiffer, 1847 ( syn. n. ). One of the specimens found corresponds with Pfeiffer's shell height and is here selected lectotype ( design. n. ) to define the taxon. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1995 : 50). Current systematic position. Bulimulidae , Bostryx voithianus (Pfeiffer, 1847).
