Bulimusn.

Brit.

/ˈbjuːlᵻməs/, U.S.

/ˈbjuləməs/

Inflections: Plural bulimi.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Bulimus.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Bulimus, genus name ( I. A. Scopoli Introductio ad historiam naturalem (1777) 392), apparently an error for or alteration of scientific Latin Bulinus , earlier name of the genus ( A. Adanson Histoire de coquillages 5, in Histoire naturelle de Sénégal (1757 )); < French bulin (Adanson, 1757, loc. cit.) < bulle bubble (see bull n.³) + -in -ine suffix⁴, so called on account of the fact that after the snail's death its shell floats like a little bubble of air), perhaps by association with ancient Greek βούλιμος (see bulimia n.). Post-classical Latin bulimus is also attested denoting an internal parasite (in an undated glossary and in an 8th-cent. British glossarial source).In plural bulimi after the Latin plural form. N.E.D. (1888) gives the pronunciation as (biuləi·mɒ̆s) /bjuːˈlaɪməs/.

Zoology.

A (former) genus of land and freshwater snails; (also bulimus) a snail of this genus.The genus Bulimus was originally very large, containing diverse species which have now been assigned to other genera (of various families). The genus name itself was suppressed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 1957, but is still occasionally used, mainly by parasitologists for certain snails which are intermediate hosts for liver flukes (most of which are now considered to be members of the genus Bithynia (family Bithyniidae)).

1801 tr. G. A. Olivier Trav. Ottoman Empire II. i. 9 Among the land-shells which we found in the environs of Ghemlek, we shall remark two bulimi which hitherto appear to us unknown to naturalists. 1. The zebra bulimus... 2. The oval bulimus.

1891 N.Z. Jrnl. Sci. 1 253 The fresh-water shells Bulimus, Planorbis, Amphipeplea, and Limnæa are found in nearly allied forms in New Zealand and Australia.

1901 Proc. Malacol. Soc. London 4 158 The subgenus Beddomea was established by G. Nevill for the reception of a few Bulimi from Ceylon and southern India.

1960 Jrnl. Trop. Med. & Hygiene 63 144/2 This action led to the publication of Opinion 475 (31st July, 1957) by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, whereby the name Bithynia Leach 1818 was validated and Bulimus Scopoli 1777 was suppressed.

2009 R. Webber Communicable Dis. Epidemiol. & Control (ed. 3) 103/2 Eggs passed into the faeces develop into miracidia, which are swallowed by snails of the genus Bulimus, Bithynia or Parafossarulus.
