Remarks.
Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
Richardson (1995
: 207) treated this taxon as a junior subjective synonym of
Bulimus studeri
Pfeiffer, 1847; we concur with this opinion, but contrary to this author consider this species to belong to
Drymaeus (Mesembrinus)
Albers, 1850.
Current systematic position.
Bulimulidae
,
Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) studeri
(Pfeiffer, 1847).
