Type locality.

Cambojia [Cambodia].

Type material.

Lectotype (design. n.), NHMUK 19601468/1 (Fig. 4F; H=66.6 mm, W=35.1 mm), paralectotypes NHMUK 19601468/2-3 (1S + 1D, Fig. 4G).

Remarks.

Bulimus cambojiensis Reeve, 1860 was described from a specimen collected by H. Mouhot. When describing Bulimus cambojiensis, Reeve did not designate a unique type. Fulton (1896a) figured this species for the first time, but did not clearly state their syntype status. The specimen that most closely matches the original description (Reeve 1860: 204) and the figure in Fulton (1896a: pl. 7, fig. 7) is designated here as the lectotype to stabilise the name.

Variation in the spelling of the species name is found as " cambodjensis " or " cambogiensis ", but both are considered as incorrect subsequent spellings (Morelet 1875: 260, Pfeiffer 1877: 23). The correct original spelling " cambojiensis " is here highlighted to be maintained as proper usage.
