Description
Bulimus mariae J. Moricand, 1858
Figs 47-48
Bulimus mariae J. Moricand, 1858: 453, pl. 14 fig. 5.
Type locality: [Peru] “ Tarapoto ”. Label: “Tarapoto”, in Moricand’s handwriting.Dimensions: “Haut., 24 mill.; larg. 9 à 10”; figured specimen herein H 23.3, D 12.3, W 6.0.
Type material: MHNG-INVE-64389, seven syntypes (Moricand coll.).
Remarks: Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based. One additional specimen was found in the MCZ collection database, registered as MCZ 160196 (‘paratype’ [syntype]). The name is a junior homonym of Bulimus mariae Albers, 1850. In literature (e.g. Richardson, 1995), this taxon has been considered a junior synonym of Bulimus strigatus Pfeiffer, 1841, but this taxon should be ascribed to Sowerby I. Compared to that species this taxon has a narrower aperture, and the suture is more strongly ascending in front. The classification of earlier authors, however, is tentatively retained until further studies have shown the variation within this species.
Current systematic position: Bulimulidae, Drymaeus (Drymaeus) strigatus (Sowerby I, 1833).
