Remarks.
Pilsbry (1911)
pointed out that
T. album
is morphologically similar to
T. weltnerianum
and noted that the difference between the two species is mainly that the plates of
T. album
are smooth. However,
Hoek (1883)
commented on the "beautiful striation" of the
T. album
plates under the microscope. Our observations of the
holotype
confirmed
Hoek’s (1883)
comment, therefore
T. weltnerianum
is here considered to be a junior subjective synonym of
T. album
.
