Type
locality:
[
Brazil
] “
Bahia
”
.
Label:
“
Bahia
”, in Moricand’s handwriting.
Dimensions:
“Alt., 30 mill.; diam. 11”; figured specimen herein H 29.6, D 13.5,
W 7.0
.
Type material:
MHNG-INVE-63455,
one syntype
(Moricand coll.).
Remarks:
Moricand did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. Pilsbry suggested that this taxon might belong to the
Odontostomidae
, genus
Moricandia
Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1898
. In a note accompanying the lot, Mermod wrote in 1937 “Il ne semble pas quece Bulime soit un
Odontostomus
, ni un ...
Drymaeus
?”. The protoconch sculpture consists of fine spiral lines and the taxon is now placed in the genus
Leiostracus
Albers, 1850
(
comb. n.
). Moricand’s taxon proves to be a junior subjective synonym of
Bulimus clouei
Pfeiffer, 1857
(
synon. n.
); the
lectotype
of this species is in the NHMUK (
Breure & Ablett, 2015: 26
, figs 21i-iii).
Current systematic position:
Simpulopsidae
,
Leiostracus clouei
(Pfeiffer, 1857)
(
comb. n., synon. n.
).
