Ordo: Pulmonata
Familia: Orthalicoidea
Genus: Bulimus
Name
Bulimus sellersi Cox, 1872 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bulimus sellersi Cox 1872a[1]: 644, pl. 52 fig. 3.
- Aspastus sellersi (Cox); Delsaerdt 2010[2]: 27, pl. 2 figs 15–19 (lectotype designation).
Type locality
“Guadalcanar Island, Solomon Islands”.
Label
“Solomon Isls”, taxon label “Placostylus / sellersi / Cox” (see remarks).
Dimensions
“Length 1.90, breadth 0.66 of an inch [H 46.3, D 16.8 mm]”; lectotype H 44.4, D 18.9, W 5.5.
Type material
NHMUK 20070067, lectotype; seven paralectotypes (ex Kennard ex Cox).
Remarks
The specimens are accompanied by a second label “B. sellersi / Cox / Austr:”, which is possibly the original label of Cox. Furthermore, a third label. presumably made by Kennard, reads “Guadalcanar Cotypes Cox coll.”. The measurements of the lectotype as given by Delsaerdt (2010)[2] appear to be erroneous (“The length of the lectotype is 50 mm”).
Current systematic position
Bothriembryontidae, Aspastus sellersi (Cox, 1872).
