Abstract Abstract
The type status is described for specimens of 84 taxa classified within the families Bothriembryontidae and Odontostomidae (superfamily Orthalicoidea) and kept in the Natural History Museum, London. Lectotypes are designated for Bulimus (Liparus) brazieri Angas, 1871; Bulimus broderipii Sowerby I, 1832; Bulimus fuligineus Pfeiffer, 1853; Helix guarani d’Orbigny, 1835; Bulimus (Tomigerus) ramagei E.A. Smith, 1890; Helix rhodinostoma d’Orbigny, 1835; Bulimus (Bulimulus) ridleyi E.A. Smith, 1890. The type status of the following taxa is changed to lectotype in accordance with Art. 74.6 ICZN: Placostylus (Euplacostylus) cylindricus Fulton, 1907; Bulimus pyrostomus Pfeiffer, 1860; Bulimus turneri Pfeiffer, 1860. The following taxon is synonymised: Bulimus oblitus Reeve, 1848 = Bahiensis neglectus (Pfeiffer, 1847).
Keywords: Bothriembryontidae, Odontostomidae, types
Introduction and methods
This is the second paper on the types of Orthalicoidea in the Natural History Museum, London. An earlier paper (Breure and Ablett 2011) has presented the context of the collection, the criteria used for the selection of lectotypes, some biohistorical notes, and a list of type specimens belonging to the Amphibulimidae. The aim of this publication is to supplement the earlier paper with data on the type specimens classified with the Bothriembryontidae and Odontostomidae (sensu Breure and Romero in press).
Abbreviations used for depositories of material are: ANSP, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, U.S.A.; MHNG, Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle, Geneve, Switserland; MNHN, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France; MNHNM, Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Montevideo, Uruguay; NHMUK, Natural History Museum, London, U.K.; RBINS, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, Belgium; RMNH, Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis, Leiden, the Netherlands; SMF, Senckenberg Natur-Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany; UF, Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, U.S.A.; ZMB, Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany. Other abbreviations used are: / end of line in cited text; coll., collection; D, diameter; H, shell height; leg., legit, collected; W, number of whorls. See Fig. 1 for the way measurements of the shell have been taken. Label styles in the Cuming collection (M.C.) are explained in Breure and Ablett (2011: 7–8, fig. 6).

Systematics
Systematic list of taxa arranged in generic order
This systematic list follows Breure (1979); the family classification amended as proposed by Breure and Romero (in press). The generic classification has been adapted from Simone (2006) for the Odontostomidae (but see Remarks below); the classification of Bothriembryontidae is based on unpublished data from the senior author. Within each family, genus and at species level, taxa are presented in alphabetical order.
Family Bothriembryontidae Iredale, 1937
Remarks. The Gondwanan group within the Orthalicoidea (Placostylidae sensu Neubert et al. 2009, Bothriembryon, Prestonella, Plectostylus, and Discoleus) appears to be monophyletic (Breure and Romero in press). Thus the oldest family name, i.e. Bothriembryontidae, is used herein for this group.

Family Odontostomidae Pilsbry and Vanatta, 1894
Remarks. We follow here the classification of Simone (2006), with exceptions mentioned below. However, it must be emphasized that a revision of this family, combining morphological and molecular data, is much overdue.
Anostoma Fischer von Waldheim, 1807
Anostoma brunneum Verdcourt, 1990; Anostoma carinatum Pfeiffer, 1853.
Bahiensis Jousseaume, 1877

Bonnanius Jousseaume, 1900
Bonnanius ramagei (E.A. Smith, 1890).
Clessinia Döring, 1874
Clessinia costatus (Pfeiffer, 1849).
Remarks. Molecular evidence appear to suggest that taxa hitherto placed in Spixia and Clessinia belong to the same group (Breure and Romero in press); in case further studies should confirm the synonymy of these taxa, Clessinia has priority over Spixia Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1894.

Odontostomus Beck, 1837
Odontostomus grayanus Pfeiffer, 1845; Odontostomus odontostomus (Sowerby I, 1824).
Remarks. Simone (2006) seems to have misinterpreted this genus, by considering Plagiodontes daedaleus (Deshayes, 1851) as a member of Odontostomus, whilst placing the type species of this genus in Macrodontes Swainson, 1840 without further discussion.
Plagiodontes Döring, 1876

Reeve indicated that his specimen was in “Mus. Brit.”. His description leaves room for the possibility that Reeve passed additional specimens to other collectors/institutions; therefore, we concur with Breure and Schouten (1985) to designate this specimen as lectotype.

Fulton (1907) 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) has been unable to locate this species on Santa Isabel; it is only known from Guadalcanal.

Remarks.
This specimen was thought by d’Orbigny to represent Auricula fuscagula Lea, 1837 [= Cyclodontina punctatissima (Lesson, 1830)], which is, however, a distinct species. The type lot consisted of a second specimen (NHMUK 1854.12.4.142) which indeed belongs to this species described by Lesson. Therefore, to solve the potential confusion, specimen NHMUK 1854.12.4.141 is here designated as lectotype (design. n.) of Bulimus fuscagula d’Orbigny.

The holotype designation (Breure and Schouten 1985) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN); the claim of Delsaerdt (2010: unnumbered page opposite contents [not repeated in main text]) of a lectotype designation is thus erroneous. Delsaerdt interpreted Cox’ abbreviation “unc.” equalling 25.4 mm given his dimensions of the type specimens as 26.67 x 66.04 mm. Cox’ abbreviation can also be read as the Roman uncia, equal to 2.473 cm (Rowlett 2004), but according to Woodward (1851 [1851–1856]: 61) the uncia equals the inch (= 25.4 mm).

Both series are accompanied by a label in Cox’ handwriting. The specimen registered 1880.12.11.46 was presented by J.C. Cox, has a taxon label “Bulimus kreftii” and corresponds to pl.4 fig. 4 of Cox (1872). The other lot (ex A.S. Kennard collection) has a taxon label “Placostylus krefftii” [sic, misspelled] and is “(Ex Auct.)”; the locality on Kennard’s label “New Caledonia” is clearly in error. It is therefore more likely that the specimen presented by Cox was truly part of the type series; those from the Kennard collection may have been collected at a later stage, for which the genus name Placostylus on the taxon label written by Cox (Fig. 14ii) is an indication.

Simone (2006) listed the specimen as lectotype, but we are unaware of a previous lectotype designation for this taxon. His listing does not fulfill the requirements of ICZN Art. 74.7, and therefore the specimen is regarded as a syntype. The registration number quoted by him was incorrect.

In d’Orbigny (1835) only the name of this taxon is mentioned, together with a locality, thus it was invalidly published. The first valid publication is in d’Orbigny 1837 [1834–1847], where only a brief description was given but no figures of the ventral view of the shell (only a side view of a living snail). There is no explicit mentioning of “var. major” on the label, as d’Orbigny has done with varieties of other taxa; the only link are the localities quoted in his original paper. This taxon is here figured for the first time. As the lots referring to Pupa spixii refer to two taxa, a lectotype is here designated for each (design. n.); see also minor d’Orbigny.

Simone (2006) has revalidated this taxon as a separate species, removing it from the synonymy of Bahiensis occultus (Reeve, 1849) (See also Pisbry 1901 [1901–1902]: 48), and placing it in the genus Moricandia Pilsbry & Vanatta, 1898. Pfeiffer’s type is somewhat stouter, but has the same characteristic brown blotch behind the lip. Tentatively, the synonymy with Bulimus occultus Reeve, 1849 is here retained.

Remarks.
Reeve (legend to pl. 70: “Mus. Pfeiffer”) evidently based his description on material from Pfeiffer, who referred to “physodes (Menke mss.)”; this species was published as such by Menke (1843: 7), and Reeve’s name is therefore probably an emendation of Menke’s name. However, as Menke’s material is presumably lost (B.J. Smith 1992: 105), these specimens are interesting, since they may have originated via Pfeiffer from Menke’s collection.

According to Solem (1959) the “holotype of pyrostomus is more slender than most of the specimens seen, but it is not too atypical. The holotype of salomonis could not be located in the British Museum”. Solem based his comments on a photograph of the type and was possibly unaware of the existence of two additional specimens. His “holotype of pyrostomus” is here interpreted as a lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN), overruling the subsequent designation by Breure and Schouten (1985: 59).

The material consists of one specimen, corresponding to the figure in d’Orbigny 1837 [1834–1847]; it is here desingated lectotype (design.n.) as d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based. Although d’Orbigny (1835) published this taxon as Helix rhodinostama, and this was not corrected by him in the same work, the prevailing usage of rhodinostoma makes this a justified emendation (Art. 33.2.3.1 ICZN).

Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae, Placostylus fibratus souvillei (Morelet, 1857).
Liparus spenceri
Tate, 1894
http://species-id.net/wiki/Liparus_spenceri

Dimensions. “Length, 20; width 12.5 (...) mm”; specimen figured herein H 17.5, D 12.2, W 4.4.
Type material.
NHMUK 1895.10.1.202–207, six paratypes (ex W.A. Horn).
Remarks.
This material was collected during the Horn Scientific Expedition to Central Australia (1894). Three of the specimens are subadult or juvenile. Further type material is present in the South Australia Museum in Adelaide (Breure and Whisson in press).
Current systematic position.

Bulimus strangei Pfeiffer 1855a: 8.
Placocharis strangei (Pfeiffer); Delsaerdt 2010: 73, pl. 12 figs 5–9 (lectotype designation).
Type locality.
[Solomon Islands, Simbo] “Eddystone Island, Australian Seas”.
Label.
“Eddystone Isld / Australian Seas”. M.C. label style III.
Dimensions.
“Long. 46, diam. 17 mill.”; lectotype H 45.9, D 20.7, W 5.4.
Type material.
NHMUK 20100652, lectotype and two paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).
Remarks.
Delsaerdt (2010) selected Pfeiffer’s figure (1856 in Küster and Pfeiffer 1840–1865: pl. 16 figs 11–12) as lectotype. He remarked that the whereabouts of the type are unknown. Three specimens were found in the NHM Mollusca General Collection, which originate from Cuming’s collection and have the label in agreement with Pfeiffer’s type locality. One of the specimens corresponds to the figure in Delsaerdt representing the lectotype; its measurements fit with Pfeiffer’s and it is now considered the lectotype despite the fact that the taxon label is not in Pfeiffer’s handwriting.
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae, Placocharis strangei (Pfeiffer, 1855).
Placostylus (Callistocharis) subroseus
Fulton, 1915
http://species-id.net/wiki/Placostylus_subroseus

Bulimus tasmanicus
Pfeiffer, 1853
http://species-id.net/wiki/Bulimus_tasmanicus
Bulimus tasmanicus Pfeiffer 1853c: 260; B.J. Smith 1992: 108.
Type locality.
[Australia, Tasmania] “Van Diemen’s Land” (see remarks).
Label.
“Van Diemens / isl.”, taxon label in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. M.C. label style III.
Dimensions.
“Long. 25, diam. 11 mill.”; specimen figured herein H 29.3, D 15.1, W 5.4.
Type material.
NHMUK 1981204, one syntype (Cuming coll.).
Remarks.
The material (two specimens) is accompanied by two labels in Pfeiffer’s handwriting. One states “B. Tasmanicus / Pfr. Van Diemens / isl.”; this is considered the original label as it is entirely written in Pfeiffer’s hand and the specimen is considered to be a syntype. The second label reads “B. Tasmanicus Pfr. var. / Isle of Ianna / New Caledonia”; only the taxon name (“Tasmanicus Pfr. var.”) is in Pfeiffer’s handwriting and this material is not considered to be a syntype as the locality seems to be erroneous.
Kershaw (1987) has restricted the type locality to Maria Island.
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon tasmanicus (Pfeiffer, 1853).
Odontostomus (Moricandia) toleratus

“Euramanga, New Hebr”. M.C. label style III.
Dimensions.
“Long. 32, diam. 17 mill.”; lectotype H 32.9, D 19.2, W 3.9.
Type material.
NHMUK 1975237, lectotype and two paralectotypes, Turner leg. (Cuming coll.).
Remarks.
The holotype designation (Solem 1959) has to be interpreted as lectotype designation (Art. 74.6 ICZN). Of the paralectotypes, one is subadult, the other juvenile.
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae, Poecilocharis turneri (Pfeiffer, 1860).
Succinea variegata
Pfeiffer, 1842

Dimensions.
“Long. 48, diam. 23 mill.”; lectotype H 46.0, D 24.8, W 5.3.
Type material.
NHMUK 1975362, lectotype; 1975363, three paralectotypes (Cuming coll.).
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.).
