Remarks:
Morelet did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The largest specimen figured by Morelet is from Curahuas, but is partly damaged at the lip and on the last whorl. Further
syntype
material is present in the NHMUK and RBINS collections. See also
Breure (2011)
and
Breure & Ablett (2014)
. The current systematic position follows the synonymization of
Richardson (1995: 36)
of
Bulimus albicolor
,
B. cercicola
Morelet, 1863
,
B
.
lesueurianus
Morelet, 1860
and
B. orophilus
Morelet, 1863
. However, the priority lies with
B
.
albicolor
, due to a lapsus of
Richardson (1995)
regarding the publication date of
B. orophilus
; this error was copied by
Breure & Ablett (2014)
.
Current systematic position:
