Folia conchyliologica , n°17 , Mars 2012 Weyrauch’s type localities: a clarification; with illustrations of types of Orthalicoidea (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Stylommatophora) in the Tucumán museum 1 by Abraham S.H. BREURE Abstract. — Additional, more precise locality data are provided for the species described by Wolfgang K. Weyrauch from South America. Most of the holotypes in the Tucumán museum pertaining to the Orthalicoidea are illustrated. Additionally, a list is provided of new species described by various authors and based on Weyrauch’s material, illustrating the importance of the Weyrauch collection. Key words . — Weyrauch, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, georeferenced localities. Introduction Wolfgang K. Weyrauch worked for many years in Peru and Argentina. He collected many shells, especially in central and northern Peru; based on his collection he described 197 new taxa, which have been listed by BARBOSA et al. (2008). However, the type localities mentioned in that paper only give “C. Peru”, etc., and are too vague to be useful for further references. During revisionary work I found that a more precise (geo)reference to these localities is often needed to interprete the status of these taxa. The following list is therefore an addition to the publication mentioned; only those (164) taxa are herein mentioned for which Weyrauch published type localities (thus excluding new names and taxa above the species level). A best guess has been added in notes (bold numbers in parenthesis; see last section) whenever I was unable to locate the type locality with certainty, e.g. when Weyrauch used local names for places that are not included in the gazetteers used. The localities as given by Weyrauch are all translated into English. Additonally, most of the holotypes of the Orthalicoidea (sensu BREURE & R OMERO , in press) present in the collection of the Tucumán museum are illustrated (referred to by a figure number in parenthesis at the end of the data for the taxon); these species were classified with the families Amphibulimidae and Orthalicidae by BARBOSA et al. (2008). For the types in the Senckenberg collection, see NEUBERT & J ANSSEN (2004). The Weyrauch collection remains an important source of material for our understanding of Neotropical snails, especially species from Peru, as is shown by the section listing 55 (sub)species based on his material but described by others, and other papers which made use of his collection ( e.g. , PILSBRY , 1944a-c, 1945, 1949; HAAS , 1947, 1948, 1951, 1952, 1955, 1959, 1966; ZILCH , 1954; LOOSJES , 1957; LOOSJES & L OOSJES -VAN BEMMEL , 1966; BREURE & E SKENS , 1977, 1981; BREURE , 1978; SALAS -OROÑO , 2007; PIZÁ & C AZZANIGA , 2009). Moreover, Weyrauch has distributed many shells under manuscript names to various museums in the world. Some of this material has been revised (BREURE , 2008; BREURE & N EUBERT , 2008). In the Tucumán museum additional, unpublished material has been found which awaits a further, critical review. Coordinates are according the GNS gazatteer (http://geonames.nga.mil/ggmagaz/ ); in some cases the Fuzzy Gazetteer (http://isodp.hof-university.de/fuzzyg/query/ ) has been used. Elevations, if not given by the author, have been extracted from Google Earth (v5.2.1.1588, http://earth.google.com ). Abbreviations used for type depositories are: ANSP, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, U.S.A.; FML, Fundación Miguel Lillo, Tucumán, Argentina; FMNH, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, U.S.A.; MACN, Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Buenos Aires, Argentina; MRCN, Museu Rio-Grandense de Ciências Naturais, Porto Alegre, Brazil; SMF, Senckenberg Natur-Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Taxa belonging to the Orthalicoidea are re-classified according to the systematic arrangement presented in BREURE & R OMERO (in press). Shell heights in the legends are abbreviated with H. 1 A.S.H.
