Name
Plectostylus moestai (Dunker, 1864) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bulimus moestai Dunker, 1864: 156. Bulimulus (Plectostylus) moestai: Pilsbry 1897[1]: 6. Plectostylus moestai: Breure 1979[2]: 90; Stuardo and Vega 1985[3]: 136; Valdovinos and Stuardo 1988[4]: 131; Köhler 2007[5]: 142, fig. 72.
Material examined
no material seen.
Diagnosis
Shell subrimate, ovate-conic, thin, marked with irregular chestnut streaks. Whorls six, a little convex, apex obtuse, aperture oval, peristome simple (Valdovinos and Stuardo 1988[4]).
Distribution and remarks
Cerro Bravo, Copiapó (Pilsbry 1897[1]). Valdovinos and Stuardo (1988)[4], in their review of the genus, could no locate specimens of this species. Although this species has been cited for the area, searches at the type locality were unsuccessful. This may represent an extinct taxon.
