Bulimus phoebus Pfeiffer, 1863 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bulimus phoebus Pfeiffer 1863[1]: 274; Pfeiffer 1868b[2]: 9; Breure 1979[3]: 30 (lectotype designation).
- Plekocheilus phoebus; Pilsbry 1895 [1895–1896][4]: 81.

Type locality
“Ecuador”.
Label
“Ecuador”, taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style IV.
Dimensions
“Long. 31, diam. 15 mill.”. Figured specimen H 30.5, D 17.5, W 5.5.
Type material
NHMUK 1975143, lectotype (Cuming coll.).
Remarks
Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but described his material “from the collection of H. Cuming”. This taxon has long been associated with Plekocheilus (Eurytus) Albers, 1850, but re-examination of the type—of which the protoconch proves to be smooth—plus recent collections in north-western Ecuador (Breure unpublished data) reveal that this taxon belongs to Clathrorthalicus Strebel, 1909. It may be closely allied to Bulimus corydon Crosse, 1869, Bulimus magnificus Pfeiffer, 1848 and Bulimus victor Pfeiffer, 1854; however, further anatomical and molecular studies should clarify the current systematic position.
Current systematic position
Orthalicidae, Clathrorthalicus phoebus (Pfeiffer, 1863) (comb. n.).
