The (almost) unknown Italian naturalist Raffaello Bellini (1874 - 1930): biography malacological publications, and status of his recent molluscan taxa Author Fasulo, Giuseppe Author Duraccio, Sergio Author Federico, Antonio Author Crocetta, Fabio text Zootaxa 2019 2019-09-11 4668 3 343 369 journal article 25478 10.11646/zootaxa.4668.3.3 911ecd53-56b9-4c32-b948-7aec22113775 1175-5326 3449562 DC193332-6762-47B2-B2E6-C5949D56D41E Helix subprofuga var. hoemastoma Bellini, 1915: 170 Type locality: Capri Island ( Naples , Tyrrhenian Sea , Italy ) and Paludi al Vasto ( Naples , Italy ) . Original description: “labbro internamente d’un rosso vivo” [internal part of the lip marked with bright red]. Material examined: four glued shells labelled “Dono Bellini” [Donated by Bellini] and “ Helix ( Heliomanes ) subprofuga Sta. —( Xerophila )—Capri” and labelled by Bellini “ Helix subprofuga , Stabile—Capri ” (MZF2—Z6969); 18 shells labelled by Bellini “ H. ( Xerophila ) subprofuga , Stabile—juv.—Capri” (MCCIC—drawer 19, n. 297b). All these shells belong to the Cernuella cisalpina (Rossmässler, 1837) species complex. Remarks: having been instituted on the basis of insignificant morphological characteristics, we rank it infrasubspecific, and thus not available ( ICZN 2012 : Art. 10.2, 45 .5, 45.6, glossary). Alzona (1971) listed “ hoemastoma Bellini 1915 ” as a synonym of Helicella ( Cernuella ) subprofuga (Stabile, 1864) , now Cernuella cisalpina (Rossmässler, 1837) . Helix subprofuga var. hoemastoma Bellini, 1915 would be also preoccupied by Helix haemastoma Linnaeus, 1758 . Manganelli & Giusti (1988) considered this taxon as belonging to the “small Cernuella group”, with an uncertain identity. Specimens ascribed to C. cisalpina were found again in Capri Island during recent field studies ( Petraccioli et al. 2005 , 2006 ).
