Breure & Ablett, 2014: 36
, figs 6D, L10i (
lectotype
designation).
Bulimus hennahi
Gray.
–
d’Orbigny, 1837 [1834-1847]: 283
, pl. 30 figs 3-4.
Type
locality:
“
provincia
Tacnacensi
(rep. Peruviana
)”.
Label:
“
Pérou
”, in Moricand’s handwriting.
Dimensions:
“Longit. 25 millim., latit. 15 millim.”; figured specimen herein H 28.8, D 15.8,
W 7.0
.
Type material:
MHNG-INVE-20659,
four paralectotypes
(ex d’Orbigny, Moricand coll.).
Remarks:
These specimens originated from d’Orbigny are considered as type material; the author did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Seven specimens are present in the d’Orbigny collection in NHMUK, of which one was designated
lectotype
by
Breure & Ablett (2014)
. This taxon has been synonymized with
Bostryx hennahi
(J.E. Gray, 1830)
by
Richardson (1995: 27)
following d’Orbigny (1837 [1834-1847]); however, doubt remains
as Breure & Ablett (2014)
explained. Only further morphological and molecular research may solve this issue.
Current systematic position:
Bulimulidae
,
Bostryx hennahi
(J.E. Gray, 1828)
