Fig. 138

Helix (Cochlostyla) pardalis Férussac, 1821 in Férussac & Deshayes, 1819 -1851: pl. 112 figs 7-8 [6 April 1821]. – Férussac, 1821 [1821 -1822]: 48 [26 May 1821].

Type locality: “?”.

Label: Not given; see remarks.

Dimensions: Not given; figured specimen herein H 70.2, D 34.3, W 5.0.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-60142, one syntype (ex Férussac).

Remarks: Férussac mentioned in his Tableau systématique (1821: 48) “No. 332 pardalis, nobis, pl. CXII, fig. 7, 8 / Habit.? Collect. D. Sollier de la Touche”, which explains why this specimen was associated with type material by P. Godet. Férussac did not state on how many specimens his description was based, so this specimen is a syntype. The dates of publication of both works by Férussac have been taken from Welter Schultes (2015). The label has clearly been written is a later hand, and the locality “ Venezuela?” has probably been added on account of the literature.

Current systematic position: Amphibulimidae, Dryptus pardalis (Férussac, 1821) .
