Buechelia goldfussi was named by Schlüter (1894). Its type specimen is Geologische-palaeontologische Institut und Museum der Universität at Bonn, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Hebborn bei Bergisch-Gladbach, which is in a Givetian carbonate limestone/reef rocks in the Bücheler Formation of Germany.

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. B. Knight 1941 | Large gastropods with a very flatly arched spire, a sharply angular
periphery, a conical base, thick, twisted, and channelled columella, and a sinus in the outer lip culminating at the periphery in a seemingly short slit that gives rise to a selenizone; whorl profile above the angular periphery very gently arched, nearly flat; sutures linear; nucleus unknown; base conical, gently arched; columellar lip thick, twisted, with a thickened, reflexed inductura, distinctly channelled at its base, the channel occupying a short, stubby canal-like projection and with an obtuse columellar, perhaps siphonal fold just above the channel; parietal inductura thin and seemingly discontinuous, seemingly wanting on the upper part of the parietal wall; outer lip with a sharp, narrow sinus culminating at the periphery in what is probably a short slit or notch (not actually observed) which gives rise to a narrow selenizone which occupies the periphery, the margin of the lip on the upper surface leaving the upper suture with slight backward obliquity which increases evenly and roundly until it is highly oblique as it reaches the marginal selenizone; selenizone forming the angular periphery, bordered on its inner side by a narrow, shallow groove, its outer margin just below the periphery, the course of the lip below the periphery unknown; ornamentation other than very fine lines of growth seemingly lacking; shell thick, its structure unknown. The holotype measures about 38 mm. in height, 53 mm. in width, and has a pleural angle of about 138 degrees. A larger paratype is more strongly arched above, while smaller ones are flatter. |
