Description
Gittenedouardia metuloides (Smith, 1899)
Fig. 15
Buliminus (Conulinus) metuloides: Smith 1899: 587, pl. 33, fig. 43 (Zomba Plateau; 10× 6 mm).
A widespread but not very common species with a general distribution in Zambia, southern Malawi (type locality), Mozambique, Zimbabwe and the northern part of South Africa. A single worn shell (juvenile), found about 30 km inland, is noticeably wider than Bulimus badiolus Morelet, 1881 described from the Comoros and just slightly more slender than four specimens of G. metuloides in the Natal Museum (No. 2786, ex. coll. Connolly 1920) from the Victoria Falls. Differs from the three following species of Cerastidae by the slender shell with a deep suture.
