Bulinus translucens Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832 Figs 18R , L61i

Bulinus translucens Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832a: 31; Sowerby I 1833 [ Sowerby I and II 1832-1841]: fig. 11; Reeve 1848 [1848-1850]: pl. 13 fig. 71.

Type locality.

"in America Meridionali ( King’s and Saboga Islands, Bay of Panama)".

Label.

”Panama” (see remarks). M.C. label style I.

Dimensions.

"long. 7/8, lat. 4/8 poll. [H 22.2, D 12.66 mm]"; figured specimen herein H 21.2, D 11.7, W 5.3.

Type material.

NHMUK 1842.5.10.139, eight paralectoypes; 20100634, lectotype and three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Two lots were found, of which one has a taxon label " B. translucidus " possibly written in Broderip’s hand; note the different spelling compared to the published taxon name. The other lot has been used by Reeve for his fig. 71; this lot has a taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. All material consists mostly of subadults and juveniles, but one of adult shells agrees with Broderip’s shell height and is here designated lectotype ( design.n.) to define the taxon.

Current systematic position.

Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Mesembrinus) translucens (Broderip in Broderip and Sowerby I 1832).
