Name
Pupa spixii d’Orbigny, 1837 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Helix spixii var. major d’Orbigny 1835[1]: 21 [nomen nudum].
- Pupa spixii var. α major d’Orbigny 1837 [1834–1847][2]: 320.
- Pupa spixii (d’Orbigny); Gray 1854[3]: 23 [partim].
- Spixia striata (Spix); Breure 1976[4]: 1158 [partim].
Type locality
“...pays habité par les Guarayos, au sein des forêts humides des frontiers nord de la province de Chiquitos (république de Bolivia), et dans la province de Corrientes (république Argentine), en un bois voisin de la rivière de Santa-Lucia, au lieu dit “Pasto reito””; see Breure 1973: 122.
Label
Two labels, “guarayos” and “corrientes, Rep. Argentina”, both in d’Orbigny’s handwriting.
Dimensions
“Long. var. A, 35 millim., (...) Lat. var. A, 12 millim.”; lectotype H 34.8, D 11, W 10.6.
Type material
NHMUK 1854.12.4.232, lectotype, matching best the original shell height; NHMUK 1854.12.4.232, six paralectotypes (d’Orbigny coll.).
Remarks
In d’Orbigny (1835)[1] only the name of this taxon is mentioned, together with a locality, thus it was invalidly published. The first valid publication is in d’Orbigny 1837 [1834–1847][2], where only a brief description was given but no figures of the ventral view of the shell (only a side view of a living snail). There is no explicit mentioning of “var. major” on the label, as d’Orbigny has done with varieties of other taxa; the only link are the localities quoted in his original paper. This taxon is here figured for the first time. As the lots referring to Pupa spixii refer to two taxa, a lectotype is here designated for each (design. n.); see also minor d’Orbigny.
Current systematic position
Odontotomidae, Spixia striata (Spix, 1827).
