Introduction
is is the fourth paper on the types of Orthalicoidea in the Natural History Museum,
London. Earlier papers (Breure and Ablett 2011, 2012, 2014) have presented the con-
text of the collection, the criteria used for the selection of lectotypes, some biohistorical
notes, and a list of type specimens belonging to the Amphibulimidae, Bothriembry-
ontidae, Bulimulidae, and Odontostomidae. e aim of this paper is to provide data on
the type specimens classied within the Megaspiridae, Orthalicidae, and Simpulopsidae
(sensu Breure and Romero 2012). e paper is concluded with an addenda and cor-
rigenda to the whole series of papers, including a list of taxa of which no type material
could be found; in the Appendix, an index to all taxa treated in the four papers is given.
References are given to the original publication, plus those of following papers
where type material has been mentioned or is (re-)gured. Dates of publication are in
accordance with Coan et al. (2013a, 2013b) and Duncan (1937). Abbreviations used
for depositories of material are: ANSP, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia,
U.S.A.; MHNG, Muséum d’Histoire naturelle, Genève, Switzerland; MNHN, Mu-
séum nationale d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France; MZSP, Museu de Zoología, São
Paulo, Brazil; NHMUK, Natural History Museum, London, U.K.; RBINS, Royal Bel-
gian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, Belgium. Other abbreviations used are:
/ end of line in cited text; coll., collection; D, diameter; H, shell height; ICZN, the
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature; leg., legit, collected by; W,
number of whorls; +, used for specimens with a broken apex. See Breure and Whisson
(2012: g. 1) for the way measurements on the shell have been taken. Label styles in
the Cuming collection (“M.C. label style”) are explained in Breure and Ablett (2011:
7–8). Although most gures have been composed with the shells enlarged, their relative
size is approximately maintained; the actual shell height is given in the gures legends.
Systematics
Systematic list of taxa arranged in generic order
is systematic list follows Breure (1979) as far as appropriate. e generic classication
has been adapted from Breure (1979), Breure and Schouten (1985), and unpublished

data from the senior author; the family classication is amended as proposed by Breure
and Romero (2012). It may be noted that ongoing phylogenetic research may alter
the classication. Within the family, genus and species level taxa are presented in
alphabetical order.

nicus Grateloup, 1839; plumbeus Pfeier, 1855; requieni Pfeier, 1853.
Remarks. Molecular studies (Breure and Romero 2012, Breure unpublished data)
strongly suggest that this genus, treated with several subgenera by Breure (1979), is
polyphyletic and only the nominate taxon is grouping with Megaspira. However, fur-
ther studies are needed as taxon sampling has been relatively low until now.

Remarks. Both this taxon described by Strebel and the next one (Scholvienia Strebel,
1910), previously treated as subgenera of aumastus (Breure 1979, Schileyko 1999),
are now elevated to generic rank as several species appear as distinct groups in molecu-
lar studies (Breure unpublished data). is genus is only provisionally ranked with this
family, and further molecular research with increased taxon sampling is needed to give
better insight into the systematic position of this group.

Remarks. Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
As Weyrauch (1964: 46) has argued, the type locality is probably in error. e current
systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 371) at the species level. e familiar
arrangement cannot be ascertained at present; tentatively this taxon is classied with
the Orthalicidae until further research has proven its relationships.

how many specimens his description was based. According to Tillier (1980: 73), the
gured specimen is in the collection of the Museum of Zoology, University of Cam-
bridge. e material found is therefore considered as possible syntypes. e specimen
gured by Pfeier 1853 (in Küster and Pfeier 1840–1865: pl. 21 g. 1) was smaller
than Reeve’s gure, but also originated from Benson’s collection.
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Orthalicus bensoni (Reeve, 1849).

Remarks. Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
e lectotype is not full-grown as shown by the lip. Pfeier (1853b: 388) mentioned
specimens from both “Mus. Cuming, Benson. et Coll. Nr. 260 jun.”; as shell height he
gave 65 mm, which was likely measured on a full-grown specimen. Richardson (1993:
98, 110) treated this taxon both as a separate species and as a junior subjective syno-
nym of Bulinus princeps Broderip in Sowerby I, 1833; tentatively this taxon is retained
as a full species awaiting further studies.

Remarks. d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was
based. e specimen found corresponds to the gures of d’Orbigny and is here designat-
ed lectotype (design. n.) to dene the taxon, which has been compared to Bulimus taen-
iolus Nyst, 1845 (Pilsbry 1895 [1895–1896]: 57). d’Orbigny (1838 [1834–1847]: 294)
specied the type locality as follows: “Nous n’avons pas receuilli nous-même ce Bulime;
nous le devons à la bonté toute particulière de M. Mathius, botaniste anglais, que nous
avons rencontré à Lima, et qui l’avait apporté du verant oriental des Andes péruviennes,
à peu près par la latitude de Lima”; this would indicate the eastern part of Dept. Junín
(e.g., Chanchamayo region) as the likely source area. e classication at species level
follows Richardson (1995: 373), but further studies are needed to ascertain its status; for
the generic level see also the remarks under the systematic arrangement above.

Remarks. Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but wrote “[t]his shell approaches nearest to the B. Taunaisii, but is certainly distinct”.
Pfeier (1853: 406) considered this taxon a junior subjective synonym of Bulimus lar-
gillierti Philippi, 1842, which has been followed by later authors. e printed label also
mentions this name, and this is consistent with the index (Reeve 1850 [1848–1850]:
v); the locality “Brazil” has been added in a later hand.

Type material. NHMUK 1866.1.3.7, one syntype (ex Guppy).
Remarks. Guppy did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
the single specimen found is damaged. Guppy emendated the name “qu’il me paraît
préférable de féminiser, à l’exemple de Pfeier et de la plupart des auteurs” (Guppy
1878: 323). He also wrote “...je n’avais pu trouver que deux individus complétement
adultes et deux exemplaires jeunes de cette espèce (...) Au commencement de l’année
1877, j’ai été assez heureux pour découvrir six à sept autres individus adultes (...) Coll.
L. Guppy et H. Crosse”. From this text it is clear that Guppy had multiple specimens
at hand when originally describing this taxon, and also that the gure presented in this
paper (Guppy 1878: pl. 10 g. 5) is likely not from the type series.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
Two specimens have been found in the collection, of which one is designated lectotype (de-
sign. n.) to xate this poorly understood species. is taxon was compared to Simpulopsis
aenea by Pilsbry (1899), but has not been recognised by later authors. Richardson’s refer-
ences (1995: 363) to a citation for Venezuela [Richards and Wagenaar Hummelinck 1940:
7] and Brazil [Jaeckel 1952: 7] were in error; these authors mentioned “Tomigerus cumingi
Pfeier” [Odontostomidae]. e current systematic position is according to ompson
(2011: 130), who expressed doubt about the locality from which it was reported.
Current systematic position. Simpulopsidae, Simpulopsis (Simpulopsis) cumingi

Type material. NHMUK 19601622, lectotype (ex DeBurgh).
Remarks. Reeve wrote “[a] ne shell”, but otherwise it is not clear from the con-
text that he had only one specimen at hand. e material is accompanied by a label
written in 1961 by S.P. Dance “is specimen does not suit Reeve’s measurements but
it is labelled by Mrs. de Burgh”; his selection as lectotype was interpreted as such by
Breure and Schouten (1985). eir text may be ambiguous, but as all the qualifying
data are given following Recommendation 74C jo. 73C, we feel that this designation
qualies Art. 74.5 ICZN. e specimen is slightly damaged at the top, hence the meas-
urements depart from those given by Reeve.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but described this taxon from “Mus. Cuming”. is is contrasting the statement in
da Silva and omé (2007), who said “Pfeier mentioned a single specimen”; they
considered the specimen in NHMUK as the holotype (da Silva and omé 2007: 14),
but this does not follow Art. 73.1 and Recommendation 73F ICZN Code. e current
systematic position follows Simone (2006).

Type material. NHMUK 1975501, lectotype (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
only a single specimen was found. Muratov and Gargominy (2011) re-described this
taxon and studied the anatomy of a single dried individual. ey concluded that this
taxon “lacks the very characteristic, for Leiostracus, division of the spermathecal duct
into an enlarged distal part and a slender proximal part that connect to the distal
part sub-apically, which is essentially the only character that separates Leiostracus from
Bostryx”. As Breure (1978: 239–240) has shown, these two genera also dier in their
radula structure, which was not studied by Muratov and Gargominy. Moreover, mo-
lecular data lends support for clear dierentiation of both genera, even in dierent
families (Breure and Romero 2012); more research may be needed to ascertain the po-
sition of Pfeier’s taxon. e generic classication of Breure (1979) is retained herein.

e lectotype is USNM 5503 (Rehder 1945), who considered this taxon to be a junior
synonym of Pupa elatior Spix, 1827; however, Simone (2006) considered the two taxa
as distinct and the current systematic position follows his work.

Type material. NHMUK 1905.12.30.12, one paralectotype.
Remarks. Ancey did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
the NHMUK specimens were considered syntypes by Breure (1978, 1979), and Si-
mone (2006). Breure (2011) selected the specimen in RBINS (also mentioned as syn-
type by Wood and Gallichan 2008) as lectotype. Ancey (1904) considered his taxon
as belonging to “the Eudioptus section” of Bulimulus; Breure (2011) re-classied it
with Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) Albers, 1860. Further anatomical and molecular studies
should provide more evidence for this classication.

Remarks. Pfeier, in his original description, referred to Sowerby I 1838 in Sow-
erby I and II 1832–1841: g. 59, for which no further data were presented; Pfeier
(1848b) corrected the dimensions to “Long. 72, diam. 35 mill.”. In both instances the
locality was presented as “Chile”, and the material as collected by Philippi (jun.); in
Pfeier 1844 (Küster and Pfeier 1840–1865) “Aufenthalt: Chile und Peru” is given.
e shell gured in the latter publication may be referred to what Reeve (1849) has
named as Bulimus foveolatus; Pfeier (1853: xiv) remarked that his taxon was not iden-
tical to Sowerby’s Bulinus mahogani, however, he did not discuss the large geographi-
cal distance between the localities where Philippi and Lobb collected their material.
Pfeier’s original material is most probably lost (Dance 1966), and whether his taxon
is a synonym of Reeve’s may possibly never be fully ascertained. e current systematic
position follows Richardson (1995: 375), who incorrectly assigned this taxon to Pfeier.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but said the material was in “Sammlung des Hrn. Hugh Cuming”. Given the context
of the publication, it is here assumed that the dimensions were given in German lines
(1 line = 2.18 mm); Pfeier (1848b) quoted “Long. 57, diam. 26 mill.”, which shell
height concurs with our measurement given above. e current systematic position
follows Richardson (1995: 376).

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was
based; he described this taxon from Cuming’s collection. e paralectotype speci-
men is juvenile. Breure (1978) mentioned that the original measurements given by
Pfeier were in error. Linares and Vera (2012) said “Bulimulus hyaloides (Pfeier,
1855) es un sinónimo”, overlooking the fact that this is the same taxon; they prob-
ably mixed the classication of Richardson (1995: 76) [who placed this taxon with
Bulimulus Leach, 1814], and the classication of Breure (1979) [who placed it under

Type material. NHMUK 1854.12.4.116, lectotype and three paralectotypes
(d’Orbigny coll.).
Remarks. d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was
based. e lot found consists of four specimens, of which the one corresponding to
d’Orbigny’s gure is now designated lectotype (design. n.) to xate the taxon, which
needs further study to clarify its status; the three paralectotypes are one subadult and
two juveniles. ree other specimens are in the MNHN collection (Breure 1975), and
are thus paralectotypes. d’Orbigny (1838 [1834–1847]: 295) specied the localities as
follows: “deux localités dierentes, au nord-est de la Cordillère orientale de Bolivia; la
première fois dans le fond d’un ravin humide et boisé, près de Carcuata, province de
Yungas, où nous n’en avons eu qu’un seul exemplaire; puis au nord de Cochabamba,
dans le fond du ravin de ‘Tutulima’, d’où il nous a été apportes par les Indiens” (see

lectotype (da Costa coll.).
Remarks. da Costa did not state on how many specimens his description was
based. is species has been classied by aumastus s.str. by Breure (1979). Upon re-
studying the specimens found, however, the protoconch appears to be pit-reticulated
and the taxon may be better placed in Kara Strebel, 1910. is taxon is closely allied to
Kara thompsonii (Pfeier, 1845) and K. yanamensis (Morelet, 1863), and upon further
studies may prove to be a synonym of either of these species.
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Kara indentata (da Costa, 1901)

Type material. NHMUK 1947.3.11.1, holotype (ex Preston).
Remarks. Preston wrote “[a]n extraordinary shell”; the singular implies that he had
only one specimen at hand, the specimen thus is the holotype. A label states “Purchased
from / Preston many years ago / by Mayor Connolly with / others / A. M. N. H. viii
p. 509”. e current systematic position follows Richardson (1995: 377) at the species
level, the generic classication should be re-evaluated by further studies of the anatomy
and by molecular research; this could also aect the arrangement at family level.
Current systematic position. Megaspiridae, aumastus insolitus (Preston, 1909).

Type material. NHMUK 1975244, lectotype; 1975245, one paralectotype
(Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
he did, however, recognize a variety β for which he gave “Long. 65, diam. 31 mill.” as
measurements. is was likely a shell from his own collection, as the paralectotype in
the Cuming collection has a shell height of 71.6 mm. e protoconch of these type
specimens is sculptured with axial wrinkles, becoming coarse granules on the lower
part of the protoconch. e generic classication of Breure (1979) is herein tentatively
retained, but further studies should clarify the systematic position of this taxon.
Current systematic position. Megaspiridae, aumastus integer (Pfeier, 1855).

Type material. NHMUK 20100506, lectotype (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but described the species from “Mus. Cuming”. Although the specimen is larger than the
measurements given by Pfeier, there is little doubt it is from the original series as the
label conrms the original locality; it also bears the text “please to name this / ‘Blandi
after the collector”. e specimen is now designated lectotype (design. n.) to xate this
taxon, which needs further study to clarify its status. e mentioning in Linares and Vera
(2012: 157) of “ZMUZ 511864” as lectotype for this taxon is erroneous, as this refers to
the type specimen of the junior subjective synonym Bulimus wallisianus Mousson, 1873
(see Breure 1976: 3). e current systematic position follows Richardson (1993: 119).

Type material. NHMUK 20110083, three syntypes (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
he described the taxon “Ex Coll. Cl. Gruner” (Pfeier 1852) and specied this later to
“Mus. Cuming ex Gruner” (Pfeier 1853b). e three specimens found are thus consid-
ered to be syntypes; one of these, possibly gured in Pfeier 1854 [Küster and Pfeier
1840–1865], is broken. e current systematic position follows Simone (2006).

Remarks. e material is accompanied by a label “the type specimen”. However,
Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but only men-
tioned “this new and very beautiful species”. e specimen found should thus be re-
garded as lectotype, contradicting the statement by Breure and Borrero (2008), who
considered it as holotype.

Type material. NHMUK 1975125, one syntype (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but said the material was in “Mus. Cuming”. e protoconch is sculptured with
spaced, indistinct wrinkles, becoming closer towards the transition to the teleoconch.
e lip is white, which is quite unusual for aumastus s.str. Further research should
thus shed more light on the systematic position of this taxon, which is here gured for
the rst time. Linares and Vera (2012) assumed that this taxon was collected in “Co-
lombia, en una localidad no denida”. Although this cannot be excluded, this remains
disputable as ‘New Granada’ had a broader political-administrative meaning at the
time the specimen was collected. erefore, at the moment the allocation of this taxon
to the Colombian malacofauna remains doubtful at best.
Current systematic position. Megaspiridae, aumastus loxostomus (Pfeier, 1853).

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but described this taxon from Cuming’s collection. Reeve’s gure (Reeve 1849 [1849–
1850]: pl. 9 g. 33) was from “the collection of J. Dennison, Esq., of which there is
also a specimen in the possession of Mr. Cuming [i.e., Pfeier’s type]”. is taxon has
been incorrectly classied with Hemibulimus Martens, 1885 by Pilsbry (1899: 185)—
who copied Reeve’s gure—and Richardson (1993: 71); Pilsbry (1909 [1908–1910]:
117) corrected his mistake. e type material is here re-gured, after E.A. Smith
(1907) had gured it for the rst time. Although the specimen seems to be slightly
subadult, this taxon might be closely allied to Bulimus corydon Crosse, 1869, B. phoe-
bus Pfeier, 1863, and B. victor Pfeier, 1854. Achatina magnica is now tentatively
placed in Clathrorthalicus Strebel, 1909; however, further anatomical and molecular
studies should reveal the correct systematic position.
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Clathrorthalicus magnicus (Pfeier,

Type material. NHMUK 1907.11.22.24, lectotype (da Costa coll., ex Grateloup).
Remarks. Grateloup did not state on how many specimens his description was
based; in Grateloup (1839b: 420) he gave as measurements “Hauteur: 80 mill. – Di-
amètre: 35 Mill.” and said it was from “Mon cabinet”. As Breure (1978) noted, this
specimen “From Grateloup Coll
n
.” came to the NHMUK collection via da Costa, who
purchased the specimen from the dealers Sowerby and Fulton. Reeve (1848 [1848–
1850]) evidently based his description on a dierent specimen, as he wrote “e shell
named B. magnicus by M. Grateloup is, according to the specimen so marked in Mr.
Cuming’s collection, a variety of B. Taunaysii [supposed by Reeve to be Férussac’s spe-
cies] of a lighter brown colour”. Despite the confusing localities (“Brésil” seems to be
added in a later hand), the status of this specimen is not disputed herein; the Peruvian
locality, however, still needs conrmation. e current systematic position follows Si-
mone (2006), who reported this species from the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
Current systematic position. Megaspiridae, aumastus magnicus (Grateloup, 1839).

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
he, however, described this taxon from the collection of Cuming. ree specimens
were found, two damaged adults and one juvenile. e protoconch is sculptured with
axial wrinkles and spiral lines; this taxon—classied by Breure (1979: 63) with Bulim-
ulus Leach, 1814—is therefore now placed in Simpulopsis Beck, 1837 and is considered
as junior subjective synonym of S. (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea (Moricand, 1836) (comb.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but described “from the collection of H. Cuming”. Although on the label has been
written in a later hand “none quite like g.”, the type status is not disputed as the
shell height matches the original data. e top of the largest specimen, herein gured,
is damaged. Also the top of one of the other specimens is damaged. e protoconch
of the third, undamaged, specimen is smooth. is taxon is tentatively classied with
Orthalicus Beck, 1837; however, further anatomical and molecular research should
provide evidence to assess if this classication is correct or needs to be adjusted.

Remarks. Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but
gured two dierent specimens from “Mus. Cuming”. ree specimens were found in lot
NHMUK 1975482, one of which corresponds to Reeve's gure 22a; Pfeier has identied

Type material. NHMUK 1975442, three probable syntypes (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Sowerby did not state on how many specimens his description was
based; he wrote “Nob.”, thus “ours”, meaning the author claimed his right as describer
of the new taxon, not necessarily proof of presence in his own collection. As Breure
and Ablett (2011: 10) suggested that these might have been swapped with Cuming,
the three specimens found are treated as probable syntypes. ey are accompanied by
two labels in Pfeier’s handwriting; one “Bul. opalinus / Sow”, the other in dierent
ink “perlucidus Spix”. In Pfeier 1848: 108 the dimensions “Long. 27, diam. 14 mill.”
were given; this corresponds to the largest specimen in the lot. e citation in Richard-
son (1995: 207) to “Pfeier, Mono. Helic. Viv. 1: 231” refers to Helix opalina Sowerby

Remarks. Reeve did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but mentioned “A shell of rather solid growth...”; this is herein not considered as su-
cient evidence that he had only one shell for his description. e material was in “Mus.
Cuming”. Richardson (1995: 226) incorrectly classied this taxon with Naesiotus Al-
bers, 1850. e current systematic position follows Simone (2006); the shell height
given by him is erroneous.

Type material. NHMUK 1854.12.4.86, six syntypes (d’Orbigny coll.).
Remarks. d’Orbigny (1835) did not state on how many specimens his description
was based; he said his taxon was identical to Helix regina var. β Férussac, 1821. In
d’Orbigny (1838 [1834–1847]: 260) the locality was specied as “environs des Missi-
ons de San-Xavier et de Concepcion”; see Breure 1973. Of the material found, none of
the shells corresponds exactly with d’Orbigny’s gure. e current systematic position
is according to Richardson (1993: 108).

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was
based, but described his material “from the collection of H. Cuming”. is taxon
has long been associated with Plekocheilus (Eurytus) Albers, 1850, but re-exami-
nation of the type—of which the protoconch proves to be smooth—plus recent
collections in north-western Ecuador (Breure unpublished data) reveal that this
taxon belongs to Clathrorthalicus Strebel, 1909. It may be closely allied to Bulimus
corydon Crosse, 1869, B. magnicus Pfeier, 1848 and B. victor Pfeier, 1854;
however, further anatomical and molecular studies should clarify the current sys-
tematic position.

Type material. NHMUK 1975130, lectotype; 1975131, one paralectotype
(Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was
based, but described his material “from the collection of H. Cuming”. Although
there is no label in Pfeier’s handwriting, the type status of these specimens is not
disputed as the shell height matches the original data. is taxon has been con-
sidered a junior subjective synonym of Helix (Cochlogena) pardalis Férussac, 1821
(Richardson 1995: 202), but re-examination of the type leads us to tentatively retain
the classication of Breure (1978). It may be noted that the locality of this taxon is
well outside the range of aumastus; however, it could possibly occur in southwest-
ern Venezuela. Once located, further anatomical and molecular studies should shed
more light on its systematic position.
Current systematic position. Megaspiridae, aumastus plumbeus (Pfeier, 1855).

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was
based; it was, however, one of the taxa from the Cuming collection. Breure (1978)
has discussed the localities and suggested that both labels are probably errone-
ous. is taxon has hitherto been classied with aumastus (Scholvienia) Strebel,
1910. Given the results of Breure and Romero (2012), who found that subgenera
of aumastus belong to dierent families, the familiar association of this taxon is
tentatively made to the Orthalicidae, and Scholvienia is provisionally given generic
status. Further anatomical and molecular studies should shed more light on its
systematic position.

Type material. NHMUK 1975485, lectotype (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but noted “Mus. Cuming”. He also remarked “Diese Art ist mit der brasilianischen
Gruppe Simpulopsis Beck sehr nahe verwandt”, which might have led Pilsbry (1899:
226) to suggest that the locality given by Pfeier was erroneous. Breure (1978) sug-
gested that this taxon might be a junior subjective synonym of Helix (Succinea) rufo-
virens Moricand, 1846. Richardson (1995: 367) considered this taxon as a separate
species; Simone (2006) did not mention it at all. Tentatively the classication of this
taxon by Breure (1978) is herein retained, until a further revision of this group claries
its taxonomic status.

Type material. NHMUK 1907.11.21.118, lectotype (da Costa coll.).

[typical one and var. γ] in the National Collection at South Kensington [= NHMUK]”.
e original series thus seems to have comprised two specimens, and the reference in
Breure (1979) to “HT BMNH 1907.11.21.118” has to be interpreted as lectotype
designation under Art. 74.6 ICZN, also following Recommendation 73F. We have,
however, not been able to locate a varietal form of this taxon in the da Costa collection
within the NHMUK. In the General collection we found two specimens. One is labeled
aumastus salteri / Andes of Peru / Purch Sowerby”, and is registered as NHMUK
1883.10.24.8 (it is listed in the register as Orthalicus and no specic name). e second
specimen is labelled “salteri var. / Peru / Mus. Cuming”; this is the only specimen with a
varietal label, but nonetheless dubious if it belonged to the original series and Sowerby’s
varietal shell may have been lost from the collection. is taxon has hitherto been classi-
ed with aumastus (Quechua) Strebel, 1910. Given the results of Breure and Romero
(2012), who found that subgenera of aumastus belong to dierent families, the fa-
milial association of this taxon is tentatively made to the Orthalicidae, and Quechua is
provisionally given generic status, pending further anatomical and molecular studies.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
but from his dimensions it is clear that he had more than one specimen at hand. From
Pfeier (1859) it becomes clear that this was one of the taxa described from “Mus.
Cuming”. Breure (1978) re-described the species on the basis of additional material and
established the rst exact locality in state Espírito Santo. e current systematic position
follows Simone (2006), whose reference to the gured type as “syntype” is erroneous.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
In the original paper he made twice an error in the name, which was corrected in
Pfeier (1861a; without explicit comment), and Pfeier (1868; “sphalm. Saturanus”);
this is treated as a lapsus calami under Art. 32.1 jo. 24.2.4 ICZN. Breure and Borrero
(2008: 28) have pointed out that “Pallatanga” could not be assigned unequivocally to
a locality, as it is found twice in modern gazetteers.

“Type largest / Test. Noviss. No. 101”. e locality on the label probably refers to the
village of Dolores, Petén, Guatemala, which is thus the exact type locality. e current

that Strebel (1909: 120)—after establishing the subgenus Oxyorthalicus—wrote “Die
Skulpturbeschreibung [by da Costa] bezw. das Fehlen der erhabenen Streifen scheint
mir für die Untergattung unwahrscheinlich”. Further anatomical and molecular re-
search should thus shed more light on the taxonomic position.
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Porphyrobaphe (Oxyorthalicus) sub-

Dimensions. “[L]ength of 28 mm”. Figured specimen H 29.0, D 14.8, W 7.9.
Type material. NHMUK 20130094, three probable paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pilsbry did not state on how many specimens his description was based,
and gave no type locality as he described what he regarded as a colour variation only.
His gure was a black and white copy of Reeve’s gure. Salvador and Cavallari (2013)
have given this variety specic status and designated a specimen from MZSP as neo-
type. In doing so they disregarded material in the NHMUK (Reeve) and ANSP (Pils-
bry), and their designation did not full the requirements of Art. 75 ICZN. Salvador
et al. (2014) corrected this issue and selected the gure of Reeve 1848 [1848–1850]:

pl. 45 g. 284 as lectotype, in accordance with Recommendation 74B ICZN. e
specimens found are accompanied by a Reeve label, but cannot be matched exactly to
his gure; they are considered as probable paralectotypes.

Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
e specimen gured by Reeve has been selected lectotype by Breure (1978); the pa-
ralectotypes are less slender. On the basis of molecular analyses of Breure and Rome-
ro (2012), the genus Kara Strebel, 1910 has been placed in the family Orthalicidae
(Breure 2011).
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Kara thompsonii (Pfeier, 1845).

Type material. NHMUK 20100507, holotype, Lobb leg. (Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Fulton mentioned “[t]ype in British Museum (Cuming Collection)”,
and said his taxon had been gured by Reeve. Reeve wrote: “It is with much grati-
cation that I am enabled to give an original gure of the Bulimus labeo, gured at.

was collected by Mr. Lobb at Limabamba, Peru; a district seldom visited by travellers,
and the same in which Lieut. Mawe obtained the original specimen.” From this text
it may be concluded that Reeve had only seen one specimen, identical to the lost type
of Broderip; Reeve’s shell is thus the holotype of Fulton’s taxon. It is also clear that
the altitude and collector data given by Fulton are erroneous. e current systematic
position at species level follows Richardson (1993: 128).
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Sultana (Metorthalicus) yatesi (Pfeier,

Type material. NHMUK 1975242, lectotype; 20100567, one paralectotype
(Cuming coll.).
Remarks. Pfeier did not state on how many specimens his description was based;
besides the specimen corresponding to Pfeier’s dimensions, and selected lectotype
by Breure and Schouten (1985), a second specimen was found designated as “var.” by
Pfeier (1861: 169). e label accompanying the lectotype is partly fading away; the
apex of this specimen is missing. is species has been listed by Richardson (1993: 120)
under Porphyrobaphe Shuttleworth, 1856, and also under Plekocheilus Guilding, 1828
(Richardson 1995: 324). e reference of Linares and Vera (2012) for this species from
Putumayo must be viewed with suspicion until the voucher specimen has been studied,
as there may be a confusion with a local Plekocheilus species. is taxon has long been
associated with Plekocheilus (Eurytus) Albers, 1850, but re-examination of the type mate-
rial—the protoconch of the paralectotype proves to be smooth—plus recent collections
in north-western Ecuador (Breure unpublished data) reveal that this taxon belongs to
Clathrorthalicus Strebel, 1909. It may be closely allied to Bulimus corydon Crosse, 1869,
B. magnicus Pfeier, 1848, and B. phoebus Pfeier, 1863; however, further anatomical
and molecular studies should reveal the correct systematic position.

Type material. NHMUK 1893.2.4.167–168, [two paralectotypes] (Morelet coll.).
Remarks. Morelet did not state on how many specimens his description was
based; the two specimens mentioned by Breure (1978) were absent, although the labels
of the lot have been found and a picture has been taken. e lectotype is present in the
MNHG collection. is taxon has been associated with the genus Kara Strebel, 1910.
On the basis of molecular analyses of Breure and Romero (2012), this genus has been
placed in the family Orthalicidae (Breure 2011).
Current systematic position. Orthalicidae, Kara yanamensis (Morelet, 1863).

Type locality. “Santa Catarina (de Linnaea Institute label)”.
Label. “St. Catharina”.
Dimensions. “Maj. diam. 10, alt. 29 mm”. Figured specimen H 29.2, D 10.0, W 7.8.
Type material. NHMUK 1907.5.3.163, lectotype (ex Sowerby and Fulton).
Remarks. Fulton did not state on how many specimens his description was based.
e specimen found agrees with Fulton’s measurements and is now designated lectotype
(design.n.). e sculpture of the protoconch is not with axial wrinkles as usual in Protoglyptus
Pilsbry, 1897, but with axial wrinkles, partly broken into granules. It may be noted that all
Annotated type catalogue of the Megaspiridae, Orthalicidae, and Simpulopsidae... 55
species currently classied with this genus occur in the West Indies (Breure and Romero
2012; Breure and Ablett 2014). Breure (2011) retained this taxon with this genus, but
expressed doubts and suggested further research. e surface of the teleoconch has spiral
series of small granules, denoting an epidermis covered with hairs when fresh; this has both
been observed in some species of Rhinus Albers, 1860, and Naesiotus Albers, 1850. Although
the shape of the shell cannot be conclusive evidence for generic classication, it may be
noted that Fulton compared this species to Helix crepundia d’Orbigny, 1835, which has
been classied with Naesiotus sensu lato (Breure and Ablett 2014). Only further anatomical
and molecular work can shed more light on the correct systematic position of this taxon.
Current systematic position. ?Bulimulidae, ?Naesiotus dejectus (Fulton, 1907).

been mentioned under two dierent species by Richardson (1993: 36, as synonym of Bu-
linus janeirensis Sowerby I, 1833; 1993: 47, as synonym of Odontostomus juvencus Mörch,
1852). e former is an erroneously reference to d’Orbigny 1837 [1834–1847]: pl. 39 gs
1–2, who corrected the legend to his gure to Bulimus fuscagula d’Orbigny “(guré sous le

Type locality. “—?” “Mus. Cuming”.
Dimensions. Not given.
Remarks. e syntype material mentioned by Breure (1979) has not been located
during our study. It is possible that this material has not been registered. However, the
NHMUK copy of Reeve (1848–1850) for Bulimus vitrinoides has the species name
crossed out and ‘citrino-vitreus Moricand’ penciled in. In the general collection one lot
was found (registered NHMUK 1841.4.28.110); one specimen matches the illustra-
tion but is smaller. ese specimens are not considered type material as they are not
from the Cuming collection but were ‘purchased of M. M. Parreys d’Vienna’.

Type locality. [New Caledonia] “Baie du Sud (Nov. Cal.)” (see remarks).
Label. “New Caledonia”.
Dimensions. “Long. 129 mill., diam. maj. 65”. Figured specimen H 126.1, D
56.3, W 7.0.
Type material. NHMUK 1883.11.10.1179, one paralectotype ex Sowerby ex
Gassies.
Remarks. Neubert et al. (2009) suggested that the type locality may be erroneous
as this taxon is only known from Ile des Pins and Koutoumo. See also their discussion
on the variation within this species and consider their general remark that this species
is “either recently extinct and/or represent morphological variations of extant taxa”.
e lectotype selected by Neubert et al. (2009) is MNHN 21367.
Current systematic position. Bothriembryontidae, Placostylus senilis (Gassies, 1869).

Bulimulus (Drymaeus) interruptus pallidus Preston, 1909
Bulimulus (Drymaeus) interruptus var. pallidus Preston 1909: 511, g. 2.
Type locality.“Merida, Venezuela”.
Label. “Merida, Venezuela”.
Dimensions. Not given. Figured specimen H 23.5, D 11.9, W 4.3+.
Type material. NHMUK 1914.4.3.41, lectotype (ex Preston).
Remarks. is varietal name has been treated as unavailable under Art. 45.6 ICZN
by Breure and Ablett (2014: 96). Paul Callomon (pers. commun.) has suggested that this
should be reconsidered and doubted if a lectotype of the nominal name already existed.
Our opinion is as follows:
a) Preston undoubtedly had a series of specimens at hand when describing Bulimulus
(Drymaeus) interruptus; both the wording “to be greatly variable” and “its principle
forms” are indicative of this.
b) Breure (1979: 120) mentioned this taxon in his listing under Drymaeus (Mesem-
brinus) Albers, 1850, and stated “HT BMNH 1914.4.3.38” [referring to a single
specimen, thus qualifying Art. 74.6.1.2 jo. 74.3]; Art. 74.6 ICZN rules this state-
ment as a lectotype designation. It should be noted, however, that Breure did not
list the “var. pallidus” of Preston in his paper (cf. point d below).
c) Köhler (1997) also concluded that this taxon was described from several specimens
but said “A holotype has not been designated. erefore, the present specimen
[ZMB 59597] is a syntype. Consequently, the specimen in the BMNH referred
to as holotype by Breure (1979) is a syntype”. Overlooking, as explained in the
previous item, the lectotype designation under Art. 74.6 (see previous point).
d) Reconsidering the (un)availability under Art. 45.6, it is important to note that var.
pallidus was proposed before 1961 and has to be treated as subspecic (see the con-
tributions of Steve Lingafelter and Doug Yanega on the Taxacom listing, http://
to.ly/zFZO). It may be noted that the only reference to this taxon after Preston’s
publication is in Baker (1926: 44), who regarded it as a synonym of Bulimus gra-
nadensis Pfeier, 1848 (see also Richardson 1995: 133).
e) While Bulimulus (Drymaeus) interruptus var. pallidus is an available name, we con-
cur with Baker (1926) and Richardson (1995) to consider this taxon as a synonym
of the nominal form.
e specimen of var. pallidus in the NHMUK is now designated lectotype
(design.n.) to xate this synonymisation. e text in Breure and Ablett (2014: 96),
under ’Type material’, should be corrected as follows: “NHMUK 1914.3.38, lectotype;
1914.4.3.39–40, 42–43, four paralectotypes”.

Kuschelenia (Bocourtia) Rochebrune, 1882 (comb. n.)
Remarks. David Campbell (pers. commun.) kindly made us aware that the name
Vermiculatus Breure, 1978 is preceded by Bocourtia Rochebrune, 1882. Rochebrune
(1882: 117) described this genus from ailand as a member of Lymnaeidae; the type
species B. lymnaeformis Rochebrune, 1882 was subsequently designated by Hubendick
(1951: 114), but Ancey (1906: 317) and Germain (1910: C.32) already recognised
that this species was identical to Bulimus anthisanensis Pfeier, 1853. e name Ver-
miculatus Breure, 1978 (type species Bulinus bicolor Sowerby I, 1835) is thus a subjec-
tive junior synonym of Bocourtia Rochebrune, 1882 (syn. n.). e following taxa are
aected by this new classication (comb. n.):

and Gary Rosenberg (Philadelphia) commented on our previous paper, which has led
us to add a reconsideration of one taxon. David Campbell (Boiling Springs) raised our
awareness on a nomenclatural issue. Finally, the comments of Francisco Borrero and an
anonymous reviewer has allowed us to improve this paper which concludes this series.

Appendix
List of taxa for which Orthalicoidea types are extant, or discussed, in the NHMUK
collection
Remarks. is list has been compiled from I: Amphibulimidae (Breure and Ablett
2011); II: Bothriembryontidae and Odontostomidae (Breure and Ablett 2012); III:
Bulimulidae (Breure and Ablett, 2014); IV: Megaspiridae, Orthalicidae, and Simpu-
lopsidae (this paper). A black star () indicates a nomen inquirendum, an asterisk (*)
denotes taxa now excluded from the Orthalicoidea, a curved stem sign (¶) is type
material not located but previously known to be present; with a dagger (†) taxa are
indicated for which type material was expected but not found, and a pilcrow sign () is
used for taxa of which material is not (or no longer) considered to be type specimens.
Finally, a reference mark () indicate the taxa treated otherwise in the text, e.g. as
junior or senior synonym.

Background Herein, we attempted to obtain detailed data on the distribution of the species of Drymaeus ( Mesembrinus ) in Brazil, using biodiversity databases, malacological collections and literature as sources of occurrence records. We provided a catalogue of species, along with distribution maps. We also estimated the suitable distribution of Drymaeus ( Mesembrinus ) interpunctus using the maximum entropy approach. A detailed description of the anatomy of the soft parts of this species was provided, with new data on the pallial system. Materials and Methods For each species we provided information on the compiled data associated with museum collections and the literature. Distribution maps including geographic boundaries, Brazilian biomes and altitude were made with QGIS software 3.16.10 Hannover. For niche modelling, nineteen bioclimatic variables and a topographic variable were used as predictors. The models were performed with MaxEnt version 3.3.3k. Results Most of the species are represented by scarce material in malacological collections; for some species, these records correspond to type material, indicating that they have not been recollected. Most of the species were represented by shells making anatomical comparison and DNA analysis difficult, limiting our ability to provide new criteria for species delimitation. Our results allowed us to expand the known distribution area for three species, Drymaeus dutaillyi , D. gereti and D. oreades , with new occurrence records in Brazil. The MaxEnt model showed a thin area of high suitability to D. ( M. ) interpunctus in the Southeastern Brazil, corresponding to the Atlantic Forest. Minimum temperature of the coldest month and mean temperature of coldest quarter were the variables that most influenced the development of the model. Discussion Drymaeus interpunctus was described based on specimens collected in Brazil without mention to the exact localities. Herein the new records from databases allowed to expand the known geographic distribution for this species and to infer its potential distribution. Although the type locality of D. interpunctus is in Brazil, the anatomy of the soft parts of specimens from this country was not previously described. The anatomy of the reproductive system of the specimens analyzed herein mostly corresponds to a previous description for specimens from Paraguay, except for the absence of penial sheath and the relative length of the bursa copulatrix duct. The results of niche modeling showed a thin area of high suitability for D. interpunctus and a vast area of moderate suitability, indicating that this species present a niche breadth that favors its occurrence in a range of different biomes, including less suitable areas. Conclusion The small number of records obtained for most of the species and their restricted ranges associated with habitat destruction may indicate that they are of conservation concern.
... Remarks. Breure and Ablett (2014) argued that this species would probably come from northern Peru or Ecuador. The present specimens (AM MA127334) are thus the first precise locality recorded for this species; they were collected in Huanta, Ayacucho department, in central Peru. ...

The catalogued collection of South American terrestrial gastropods, including the Caribbean ABC islands and Trinidad & Tobago, of the Auckland War Memorial Museum (AM), New Zealand, is discussed here. In total, 264 specimen lots from South America were found in the AM collection, including eight type lots. Twelve of the specimens represent new geographic distribution data, including the first known precise locality for the species Bostryx luridus (L. Pfeiffer, 1863) and potentially for Drymaeus cf. waldoschmidti Parodiz, 1962 as well. The specimens of Lopesianus crenulatus Weyrauch, 1967 allowed for the revision of the monospecific genus Lopesianus Weyrauch, 1958, which is herein considered valid in the family Simpulopsidae.

This paper presents an investigation of material collected during four intensive collecting trips of land snails in French Guiana from 1995 to 2020 and deposited in the French National Museum of Natural History collections. This material forms the basis of the following novelties: four families are reported for the first time from French Guiana: Diplommatinidae, Cystopeltidae, Thysanophoridae and Strobilopsidae; three native species: Lyroconus plagioptycha (Helicoidea, Thysanophoridae), Pupisoma macneilli (Pupilloidea, Valloniidae) and Strobilops morsei (Pupilloidea, Strobilopsidae) and one introduced species Diplosolenodes occidentalis (Veronicelloidea, Veronicellidae) are reported for the first time from French Guiana; five new species are described: Adelopoma quasimodo Gargominy, sp. nov. (Cyclophoroidea, Diplommatinidae), Lilloiconcha galbao Gargominy, sp. nov. (Punctoidea, Cystopeltidae), Protoglyptus bernicolae Gargominy, sp. nov. (Orthalicoidea, Bulimulidae), Pseudosubulina santi Gargominy, sp. nov. (Testacelloidea, Spiraxidae), and Happia decaensi Gargominy, sp. nov. (Scolodontoidea, Scolodontidae). Finally, Drymaeus surinamensis Vernhout, 1914, syn. nov. is considered as a new synonym of Mesembrinus lusorius (L. Pfeiffer, 1855), and Drymaeus arcuatostriatus (L. Pfeiffer, 1855) is proposed as the new identification of Drymaeus meesi sensu Tillier, 1980 non Breure, 1976.

We critically examine Peruvian taxa belonging to the genera Drymaeus Albers, 1850 and Mesembrinus Albers, 1850, verify their original reference, and figure type materials, if located in and available from museums. We include additional photographs of non-type material when they are deemed useful to show variation. Original figures from the literature are reproduced for some species where photographs of type material are unavailable. We list precise localities in Peru where each species has been collected and map each species. Where possible, the ecoregions in which each species occurs are indicated. A brief history of research on Drymaeus and Mesembrinus from Peru is included. We recognise 94 valid species of Drymaeus and Mesembrinus.

Thesis
Full-text available
Gastropods of the genus Bulimulus Leach, 1814 have a neotropical native distribution and are considered large in size because they measure between 20.01-40.00mm. The majority of its species were originally described based on their most widely used set of characters, conchological morphology. In some cases, information about the morphology of hard parts, such as the radula and jaw, was provided; however, data regarding their internal anatomy are scarce. Thus, of the 68 valid species of Bulimulus, according to the specialized database on molluscs, approximately 20% of the species have some anatomical data while; in terms of genetic approaches, only a few sequences corresponding to about 10% of the entities are currently available. As a result, for the majority of species, conchological characteristics are the only diagnostic tool available. Unfortunately, the length of the descriptions, the overlapping of conchological features, and the scarcity of anatomical information made it difficult to correctly identify numerous entities. The genus is represented in Argentina by eight species, three of which are found in the province of Buenos Aires. Considering the on the one hand, B. bonariensis has little anatomical information, a wide distribution in the country, and has experienced population explosions with negative effects on crops on several occasions. And that, on the other hand, there is little or no anatomical information on B. rushii and B. vesicalis to complement the conchological data, as well as the fact that they were included on the list of priority species for conservation. Due to this, the objectives of this thesis are to conduct conchological and anatomical analyses with genetic support in order to complement the diagnosis of the species to contribute to elucidate certain confusing taxonomically situations as synonyms with other entities such as B. sporadicus and problems in the identification of specimens of B. rushii. On the other hand, this thesis focused on B. bonariensis to monitor an experimental population in order to gather information on its rate and pattern of growth, survival, mortality, age estimation and size at first reproduction, among other population parameters and characteristics of the life cycle. In addition to the analysis of gametic development, this study will provide us with valuable demographic information for conducting controls at the population level or comparisons with other members of the genus. Thus, using qualitative conchological analysis, we were able to identify specimens corresponding to the three species, with the sculptures of the protoconch being the most distinguishing feature of B. rushii, along with the length of the spire, length of the aperture, and general configuration, allowed the assignment of specimens to this species. As for B. vesicalis and B. bonariensis, the length of the spire, length of the aperture, and the low convexity of the whorls were the features that allowed such distinction. In the morphometric analysis of the three species, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was first performed in order to explore the morphological variation of the shell shape, then the differences between the groups were deepened by means of a Discriminant Analysis (DA). In this way, the variables that allowed PCA discrimination were those associated with the penultimate whorl, length and width, and the smallest diameter. However, in the DA, the smallest diameter and the length of the spire were the variables of greatest contribution. Given the intraspecific morphological variability, morphometric tools were used to further analyze each species. Therefore, B. bonariensis displayed three distinct morphologies, with length penultimate whorl, the length spire, length total shell, length apertural, minor diameter and the largest diameter being the variables that contributed the most. B. vesicalis and B. bonariensis were qualitatively distinguishable from one another; yet, PCA and DA revealed a wide overlapping area. In B. rushii, variability at the conchological level was not observed within each population studied, but was found to be associated with geographic location. As a result, the length of the parietal space and aperture showed a significant difference in relation to altitude. In terms of internal anatomy, differences that allowed complementing the diagnosis of each species were shown. At the level of the mantle organs, the location of the heart and pericardial cavity in relation to the kidney differed between the three species. In addition, B. rushii has a secondary collar vessel and a larger lung area. Regarding the digestive system, the main differences were observed in the buccal bulb, since B. rushii presented a greater number of muscles and a more quadrangular morphology of the jaw plates. On the other hand, there was only a subtle difference in the length of the cerebro-pleural connective tissue in the central nervous system between B. bonariensis and B. vesicalis, while in B. rushii there was extensive fusion of the pleural and pedial ganglia. There was also a significant difference at the reproductive level, which was considerably simpler compared to the other treated species, with a basic histological structure of the penial complex and no diverticula. When B. bonariensis and B. vesicalis were compared, differences in the thickness of the bursa copulatrix duct and the general and histological morphology of the penial complex were found. Moreover, when compared to samples from Buenos Aires, seven different penial complexes were present within the nominal species B. bonariensis. The molecular information through genetic distances, phylogenetic reconstructions and two species delimitation methods (ABGD and к/θ) allowed to consolidate what was observed from the anatomical point of view. So that, what was understood as a single species, is actually a complex of species formed by at least eight, which are considered cryptic based on the analysis of the conchological morphology. Concerning the second part of the thesis, the laboratory study was carried out using B. bonariensis as the model species. In this way, it was possible to monitor a complete life cycle. The average number of eggs per clutch was calculated at 44, with a 14-day embryonic development time. The birth rate was nearly 42% and of this percentage, during the first 50 days mortality of 50% of the individuals born was observed. Thus, they presented a type III survival curve, with a high early mortality rate and a life expectancy of two to three years. The logistic growth model was the best fit. Through the histological study of the gonad, in a natural population and over the course of two years, biological peculiarities such as the location of the different cell types in the follicles could be identified. Furthermore, at the beginning of their development they are protogynous hermaphrodites and after reaching gonadal maturity, they become simultaneous hermaphrodites. It has also been determined that it is an iteroparous species. On the other hand, three reproductive periods were identified: pre-recruitment in the fall; recruitment, which begins in winter, but the main event occurs in spring; post-recruitment in summer, where the absence of gonadal rest was observed. In pre-recruitment resorption was observed in addition to abundant primary and secondary spermatocytes and growing vitellogenic oocytes. At the same time, it was possible to correlate the degree of spermoviduct development with the stage of gonadal development. By means of logistic regression, the size at which they reach gonadal maturity was calculated, which was established at 12 mm of total shell length. By relating this length with the laboratory study, it was possible to deduce that this size is reached after 200 days of life. Therefore, the first gametic maturation is achieved before one year of life, where a first decrease in the growth rate occurs. Finally, it was inferred that, since the reproductive period occurs the following spring, at one year of life during the recruitment period, the first reproduction takes place when they reach an average of 17 mm and there is a second decrease in the growth rate.

We propose that Drymaeus cuticula (Pfeiffer, 1855) is a junior synonym of Cochlorina aurisleporis (Bruguière, 1792) based on an analysis of their conchological characters. Aside from appearing on a few species checklists, D. cuticula has been relegated to taxonomic oblivion for decades, likely due to new specimens being readily attributed to its more well-known synonym. By synonymising the two species, we clarify the status of D. cuticula and contribute to ongoing efforts to revise the taxonomy of the genus Drymaeus.

Phylogenetic analyses confirm the monophyly of a group of Drymaeus s.l. species that are characterised by tones of bluish or greenish colours of their bodies. This group is now considered as Antidrymaeus L. Germain, 1907, which was recently elevated from synonymy to generic status. Spe- cies of this group have been found from Florida to Brazil and Peru, but further fieldwork may show that more species belong to this genus than hitherto known. The following new taxa are described: Antidry- maeus multifasciatus nevisensis Robinson & Breure and Antidrymaeus multifasciatus luciae Robinson & Breure. The genus Antidrymaeus now includes A. dormani (W.G. Binney, 1857), A. gereti (C.M.F. Ancey, 1901), A. immaculatus (Reeve, 1850), A. inusitatus (Fulton, 1900), A. multifasciatus christopheri (Pilsbry, 1899), A. multifasciatus laticinctus (Guppy, 1868), A. multifasciatus luciae Robinson & Breure, 2024, A. multifasciatus multifasciatus (Lamarck, 1822), A. multifasciatus nevisensis Robinson & Breure, 2024, A. pinchoti (Pilsbry, 1930), A. stramineus (Guilding, 1824), and A. sulphureus (L. Pfeiffer, 1857). Additionally, several species of Drymaeus Albers, 1850 and Mesembrinus Albers, 1850 that also have bluish or greenish colours in their body are treated here. The hypothesis is posed that these also might be members of Antidrymaeus; however, this can only be corroborated through future phylogenetic studies.
