Note G. Nevill [1878, Hand list of Mollusca in the...  
Type species G. Nevill [1878, Hand list of Mollusca in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, Part 1: 8] validly fixed Bulimus lotophagus Morelet, 1848, as type species of Streptostele. E.A. Smith [1890, Annals and Magazine of Natural History, ser. 6, 6: 96] subsequently fixed Bulimus fastigiatus Morelet, 1848 [also an originally included species] as type species. Pilsbry [1919, Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 40: 181] rejected the designation [which he attributed to Ancey 1888] of B. lotophagus as type species, and accepted Smith's designation of B. fastigiatus. The latter is the currently accepted one, and the case should be brought to the ICZN. [details]

Type species G. Nevill [1878, Hand list of Mollusca in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, Part 1: 8] validly fixed Bulimus lotophagus Morelet, 1848, as type species of Streptostele. E.A. Smith [1890, Annals and Magazine of Natural History, ser. 6, 6: 96] subsequently fixed Bulimus fastigiatus Morelet, 1848 [also an originally included species] as type species. Pilsbry [1919, Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 40: 181] rejected the designation [which he attributed to Ancey 1888] of B. lotophagus as type species, and accepted Smith's designation of B. fastigiatus. The latter is the currently accepted one, and the case should be brought to the ICZN. [details]
