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.

... There are many incidences where original specimens were not preserved, became lost (Inäbnit et al. 2019), or got destroyed in the ravages of war (Janssen 2006). However, sometimes valuable material reappears serendipitously during inventories of other collections (Albano and De Mattia 2010;Salvador et al. 2023). We present a case in point, whereby the syntypes of Carychium reticulatum Hauffen, 1856 andCarychium bidentatum Hauffen, 1856, of the troglobitic genus, Zospeum Bourguignat, 1856, from Heinrich Hauffen's original collection, considered lost, reappeared in the natural science collection of Dominik Bilimek, housed at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria (BOKU). ...
