Remarks:
Moricand did not state on how many specimens his description was based. He wrote “bouche blanc”, but
three specimens
have a black lip. The specimen figured by
Moricand (1838
: pl. 4 fig. 3; a living specimen, seen from the left-hand side) is difficult to recognize among the specimens, because the colors have faded, and none of the specimens with a white lip show the notch visible in Moricand’s figure. The current systematic position is according
Richardson (1995)
.
Current systematic position:
Bulimulidae
,
Auris egregia
