Bulimulus (Drymaeus) selli
Preston 1909
: 511, pl. 10 fig. 3;
Breure 1979
: 114 (lectotype designation).
Type locality.
"British Guiana".
Label.
"British Guiana".
Dimensions.
"Alt. 24, diam. maj. 13 mm."; figured specimen herein H 24.0, D 12.8, W 6.2.
Type
material.
NHMUK 1915.1.6.36, lectotype (ex Preston).
Remarks.
Preston did not state on how many specimens his description was based; the reference of
Breure (1979)
to "HT BMNH 1915.1.6.36" has to be interpreted as a lectotype designation under Art. 74.6 ICZN. The columellar margin of the specimen is damaged. The current systematic position agrees with
Richardson (1995
: 174).
Current systematic position.
Bulimulidae
,
Drymaeus (Drymaeus) selli
(Preston, 1909).
