Abstract
This catalogue lists all types of Bulimulinae held by the Malacological Collection of the Museum of Natural History, Humboldt University Berlin. In total types or probable types of 146 taxa are documented. Fifty-five lectotypes are herein designated for the stabilization of the taxonomical names. In addition, seven holotypes, 43 syntypes, 16 probable syntypes, and 25 paratypes or paralectotypes are listed. These types originate from various sources. A considerable number stems from the former private collections of Johann Friedrich Albers, Wilhelm Dunker, Ludwig Pfeiffer, and Hugh Cuming. In respect to the numbers of types, taxa described by Eduard von Martens, J. F. Albers, L. Pfeiffer, George Brettingham Sowerby I. and William John Broderip are especially relevant, but types of many other authors are also present. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
