Nomenclature
Before 2015 the specific name cylindricus was not available for this species because Bulimus cylindricus Menke, 1828 is a junior homonym of Bulimus cylindricus Gray, 1825. The correct name would be most probably Brephulopsis fusiformis (Menke, 1828). Although prevailing usage of the current name was conserved in 2015 by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature that used its plenary power to rule that the name Bulimus cylindricus Menke, 1828 is not invalid by reason of being a junior primary homonym of Bulimus cylindricus Gray, 1825.
