The name  Bulimus ovoideus  Bruguière, 1789 is in current use for two different species, one from East Africa and one from the Philippines. The name has also been declared as the type species of both  Edentulina  Pfeiffer, 1856 (Streptaxidae) and  Cochlostyla  Férussac, 1821 (Camaenidae). We demonstrate that the use of this name for a Philippine camaenid is based on an early misidentification. To clarify the situation, we invoke Article 70.3 of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature, concerning misidentified type species, to select the taxonomic species actually involved,  Bulinus luzonicus  Sowerby I, 1833, as the type species of  Cochlostyla .  Cochlostyla  thus becomes a senior objective synonym of  Canistrum  Mörch, 1852. Under Article 40.2 of the Code, Helicostylinae Ihering, 1909 takes precedence of Cochlostylinae Möllendorff, 1890. We further show that the Philippine camaenids  Orthostylus  Beck, 1837 and  Dryocochlias  Möllendorff, 1898 are objective synonyms with the former name having priority. Finally, we designate a neotype for  Bulimus ovoideus  to stabilise its taxonomy. These actions permit the current nomenclature to be maintained with a minimum of disruption. The currently accepted name of the taxon in question is  Edentulina ovoidea  (Bruguière, 1789).
