"Venezuela" [see remarks]; taxon label in Pfeiffer's handwriting. M.C. label style IV. Dimensions. "Long. 40, diam. 17 mill."; figured specimen herein H 39.5, D 20.8, W 6.3. Type material. NHMUK 1975196, lectotype and one paralectotype (Cuming coll.). Remarks. According to Pfeiffer (1859: 443) the type is in "Mus. Cuming". The original specimen appears to be lost. The specimens are labelled "Bulimus con-/fluens Pfr. var. / Venezuela". There is no variety mentioned by Pfeiffer, nor in his original paper nor in subsequent publications, which is interpreted as him considering this a variable taxon; the specimens are thus regarded to be from the type series. Current systematic position. Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) confluens (Pfeiffer, 1855).
