Label.
"Bogota"
, in da
Costa's
handwriting.
Dimensions.
"Long. 29.5, diam. 15 mm."; figured specimen herein H 29.5, D 15.4, W 5.8.
Type material.
NHMUK 1907.11.21.52, lectotype; 1907.11.21.53-54, two paralectotypes (da Costa coll.).
Remarks.
da Costa wrote "this shell", although three specimens are present in the original lot. Only if we assume that "this shell" is implying that da Costa had only one specimen at hand, the lectotype designation by
Breure (1979)
would lose its status; however, the presence of multiple specimens in the original lot argues against this assumption.
Current systematic position.
Bulimulidae
,
Drymaeus (Drymaeus) smithii
(da Costa, 1898).
