Remarks.
This taxon was placed in the synonymy of
Plekocheilus (Eurytus) plectostylus
(Pfeiffer, 1848) by
Borrero and Breure (2011)
. During the prolonged time this paper was in press, the material of both taxa could be studied in the NHM. Both the size of the shell and the sculpture is markedly different (cf.
Figs 20D
and
25D
). The previous subgeneric classification of
Plekocheilus speciosus
is thus retained.
Current systematic position.
Amphibulimidae
,
Plekocheilus (Plekocheilus) speciosus
(Pfeiffer, 1854).
