Name
Succinea variegata Pfeiffer, 1842 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Type locality
“Chile prov. septembr. (Bridges)”.
Label
“the valleys north of Coquimbo / found in the crevices of roc[ks]”. M.C. label style IV.
Dimensions
“Long. 48, diam. 23 mill.”; lectotype H 46.0, D 24.8, W 5.3.
Type material

Remarks
Pfeiffer’s description was read before the Zoological Society of London on 13 December 1842, but appeared in print in 1843. In this paper he gives the exact text as shown on the label. The locality label does not seem to have the taxon name in Pfeiffer’s hand; however, there is a second label in his handwriting “B. variegatus / Pfr.”. Therefore we do not question the type status of these specimens. This taxon is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Bulinus broderipii Sowerby I, 1832 (F. Cádiz, unpublished data).
Current systematic position
Bothriembryontidae, Plectostylus broderipii (Sowerby I, 1832) (synon. n.).
