Drymaeus ponsonbyi
da Costa 1907
: 305, pl. 26 figs 6-6a;
Breure 1979
: 113.
Type locality.
"Surco, Peru, at an elevation of 2,050 metres".
Label.
"Surco 2050 M. / Peru", in da
Costa's
handwriting.
Dimensions.
"Long. 33, diam. 12 mm."; figured specimen herein H 33.5, D 12.82, W 8.0.
Type material.
NHMUK 1907.11.21.27, holotype (ex da Costa).
Remarks.
da Costa writes "a shell", implying that he had only one specimen; thus the specimen is the holotype. Searching for
"Surco"
in modern gazetteers for Peru does not give any locality at the elevation indicated; the type locality thus remains to be ascertained.
Current systematic position.
Bulimulidae

Drymaeus ponsonbyi
da Costa, 1907.
