Ordo: Pulmonata
Familia: Orthalicoidea
Genus: Placostylus
Name
Placostylus cylindricus Fulton, 1907 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Placostylus (Euplacostylus) cylindricus Fulton 1907[1]: 154, pl. 10 fig. 3.
- Placostylus (?Proaspastus) cylindricus (Fulton); Breure and Schouten 1985[2]: 64.
- Eumecostylus cylindricus (Fulton); Delsaerdt 2010[3]: 39, pl. 5 figs 1–5.
Type locality
“Isabel Island, Solomons” (see remarks).
Label
“Isabel Id. / Solomon Ids.”, in Fulton’s handwriting.
Dimensions
“Maj. diam. 23, alt. 71 mm.”; lectotype H 71.3, D 27.4, W 6.7.
Type material
NHMUK 1907.5.3.160, lectotype (ex Fulton).
Remarks
Fulton (1907)[1] mentioned that he had three specimens, of which the NHMUK specimen corresponds to his figure. Contrary to Breure and Schouten (1985), it should not be considered as holotype, but is here designated as the lectotype (Art. 74.6 ICZN). The specimen has the apex damaged. Clench (1941) questioned the type locality and suggested it was erroneous. Also Delsaerdt (2010)[3] has been unable to locate this species on Santa Isabel; it is only known from Guadalcanal.
Current systematic position
Bothriembryontidae, Eumecostylus cylindricus (Fulton, 1907).
