description: <i>Buliminus</i> H. Beck, 1837 <i>Bulimina</i> Ehrenberg, 1831: folio D [2, 4]. Type species (by monotypy): <i>Bulimus labrosus</i> Olivier, 1804. Preoccupied by <i>Bulimina</i> d'Orbigny, 1826 (Foraminifera). <i>Buliminus</i> H. Beck, 1837: 68. Type species (by typification of replaced name): <i>Bulimus labrosus</i> Olivier, 1804. Unjustified emendation of <i>Bulimina</i> Ehrenberg, 1831, but placed on the “Official List of Generic Names in Zoology” by Opinion 2018 (2003: 63). <i>Petraeus</i> Albers, 1850: 183. Type species (by subsequent designation of E. von Martens, 1860: 233): <i>Bulimus labrosus</i> Olivier, 1804. <i>Sesteria</i> Bourguignat, 1884: 135 -136. Type species (by monotypy): <i>Sesteria gallandi</i> Bourguignat, 1884. Several <i>Buliminus</i> taxa have been reported from Turkey by Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst (1991). These are <i>B</i>. <i>akkumensis</i> Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst, 1991; <i>B</i>. <i>alepensis</i> (L. Pfeiffer, 1841); <i>B</i>. <i>carneus</i> (L. Pfeiffer, 1841); <i>B</i>. <i>corpulentus</i> Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst, 1991; B. <i>exquisitus</i> Nägele, 1901; <i>B</i>. <i>labrosus labrosus</i> (Olivier, 1801) and B. <i>labrosus egregius</i> Nägele, 1902. We follow the opinion of Heller (1974, 1975), and consider <i>Buliminus</i> and <i>Pene</i> Pallary, 1929, as separate genera. Consequently, the taxa mentioned by Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst (1991) under <i>Buliminus</i> (<i>Pene</i>) are not considered species of <i>Buliminus</i>. The epithet <i>corpulentus</i> has been replaced by Gittenberger &amp; Menkhorst (2006) by <i>corpulentior</i>, as it was preoccupied by <i>Buliminus</i> <i>cantori</i> var. <i>corpulenta</i> Gredler, 1884. Furthermore, Schütt &amp; &amp;Scedil;e&amp;scedil;en (2001) added another <i>Buliminus</i> species to the fauna of Turkey, by revealing that <i>Sesteria gallandi</i> Bourguignat, 1884, belongs to <i>Buliminus</i>. Bank &amp; Neubert (2016: 11), in their revision of the Iranian Enidae, made remarks on several Turkish <i>Buliminus</i> taxa. They showed that <i>egregius</i> is best regarded a separate species (not a subspecies of <i>labrosus</i>), and that the <i>labrosus labrosus</i> shells from Turkey cannot be designated to <i>labrosus</i>. Bank &amp; Neubert assumed that the latter taxon might be undescribed. A revision of the entire available material from Turkey revealed us, that the shells can be assigned to <i>B. corpulentior</i>, and that <i>B. corpulentior</i> has therefore a wider distribution and is more variable as previously thought. We therefore give an improved description of this little-known taxon.
