Descriptions of new and little-known land snail taxa from Turkey, and establishment of a new genus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata: Lauriidae, Enidae and Vitrinidae) Author Ruud, A. Bank Author Henk P. M.

Beck, 1837 Bulimina Ehrenberg, 1831 : folio D [2, 4]. Type species (by monotypy): Bulimus labrosus Olivier, 1804 . Preoccupied by Bulimina d'Orbigny, 1826 (Foraminifera). Buliminus H. Beck, 1837 : 68 . Type species (by typification of replaced name): Bulimus labrosus Olivier, 1804 . Unjustified emendation of Bulimina Ehrenberg, 1831 , but placed on the “Official List of Generic Names in Zoology” by Opinion 2018 (2003: 63). Petraeus Albers, 1850 : 183 . Type species (by subsequent designation of E. von Martens, 1860 : 233): Bulimus labrosus Olivier, 1804 . Sesteria Bourguignat, 1884 : 135 -136. Type species (by monotypy): Sesteria gallandi Bourguignat, 1884 . Several Buliminus taxa have been reported from Turkey by Gittenberger & Menkhorst (1991) . These are B . akkumensis Gittenberger & Menkhorst, 1991 ; B . alepensis (L. Pfeiffer, 1841) ; B . carneus (L. Pfeiffer, 1841) ; B . corpulentus Gittenberger & Menkhorst, 1991 ; B. exquisitus Nägele, 1901; B . labrosus labrosus (Olivier , 1801) and B. labrosus egregius Nägele, 1902. We follow the opinion of Heller (1974, 1975), and consider Buliminus and Pene Pallary, 1929 , as separate genera. Consequently, the taxa mentioned by Gittenberger & Menkhorst (1991) under Buliminus ( Pene ) are not considered species of Buliminus . The epithet corpulentus has been replaced by Gittenberger & Menkhorst (2006) by corpulentior , as it was preoccupied by Buliminus cantori var. corpulenta Gredler, 1884 . Furthermore, Schütt & Şeşen (2001) added another Buliminus species to the fauna of Turkey, by revealing that Sesteria gallandi Bourguignat, 1884 , belongs to Buliminus . Bank & Neubert (2016: 11) , in their revision of the Iranian Enidae , made remarks on several Turkish Buliminus taxa. They showed that egregius is best regarded a separate species (not a subspecies of labrosus ), and that the labrosus labrosus shells from Turkey cannot be designated to labrosus . Bank & Neubert assumed that the latter taxon might be undescribed. A revision of the entire available material from Turkey revealed us, that the shells can be assigned to B. corpulentior , and that B. corpulentior has therefore a wider distribution and is more variable as previously thought. We therefore give an improved description of this little-known taxon.
