Bulimulus angrandianus Pilsbry, 1897 [1897 -1898]: 19 (new name for Bulimus radiatus Morelet not Bruguière, 1789).
Type locality: [Peru, Dept. Junín / Cuzco] “la vallée de Jauja et des pentes du Cuzco ”.
Label: “Agama, Pérou ”, “ Cuzco, Pérou ”, “Huayocachi Pérou ”, “Mito Pérou ”.
Dimensions: “Longit. 24-29; diam. 10-10 1/2 mill.”; figured specimen herein H 23.9, D 11.4, W 6.5.
Type material: MHNG-INVE-60295, eight (1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3) paralectotypes (Angrand coll.).
Remarks: According to Pilsbry (1897 -1898: 19) this taxon is a junior homonym of Bulimus radiatus Bruguière, 1789. Richardson (1995: 35, 167) placed this taxon in the synonymy of Bulimus nigropileatus Reeve, 1849, which is not endorsed. It is clear from the dimensions quoted by Morelet, that he had ample material at hand. The localities on the labels are from central (Mito) and southern Peru (Cuzco); the other localities could not be located. The mixture of material from two widely separated regions in Peru, and the lack of a precise location for the type material, makes this taxon a nomen inquirendum as likely a species complex or morphologically convergent species are involved. The lectotype is in NHMUK collection (Breure & Ablett, 2014).
Current systematic position: Bulimulidae, Bostryx angrandianus (Pilsbry, 1897). Nomen inquirendum.
