Type material.

NHMUK 1975330, three syntypes (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based; he, however, described this taxon from the collection of Cuming. Three specimens were found, two damaged adults and one juvenile. The protoconch is sculptured with axial wrinkles and spiral lines; this taxon-classified by Breure (1979: 63) with Bulimulus Leach, 1814-is therefore now placed in Simpulopsis Beck, 1837 and is considered as junior subjective synonym of Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea (Moricand, 1836) ( comb. n., syn. n.). The taxon is here figured for the first time.

Current systematic position.

Simpulopsidae , Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea (Moricand, 1836).
