The basal and the cervical keels are distinguishable. The umbilicus is closed. The aperture is ~ 15 of shell height and roundish to subovoid in shape. The PRI is short and ends at the level of the L. It is not fused with the L. The PRI is not visible from a frontal view of the aperture. The L is dorso-lateral, thick and somehow irregular. There is a very reduced, knob-like PUPP connected to it. The AUPP is strong to moderately weak, detached from the L and barely visible from the aperture. The BAS starts directly from the L and it is long and strong, well visible from the aperture. The SCL is absent. The IL is high to very high. The SUL is tooth-like, long and partially overlaps with the SPL. The SCOL is not emergent. The peristome is continuous, markedly thickened and reflected. It is not superiorly fused to the wall of the first whorl. The palatal edge of the clausilium is distally receding and bent upwards. The plate is narrow and gutter-like. The palatal edge against distal end is bent upwards and more or less blunt.

The BC+SDBC is club-like and longer than the V, with a blunt apex. It is slightly longer than the V, with a ratio (BC+SDBC/V) that ranges from 1.6 to 1.8. There is a clear distinction between the SDBC and the BC. The D is longer than the V (with a D/V ranging from 2.1 to 2.3) and slightly longer than BC+SDBC (D/BC+SDBC ratio 1.2-1.3). It is thinner than the BC+SDBC and with a small and round apex. The V is big and cylindrical. The A is large. The PC is longer than the V (P+E/V ratio 2.1-2.4). The PR is very short and robust. The ET is weak. The E is longer than the P (E/P ratio 1.1-1.2) and almost abruptly shrinking and turning into the VD.

The A shows few irregular pleats. The P presents 4 to 6 heavily segmented longitudinal pleats that begin directly from the PP and run as far as the A, becoming irregular as approaching their distal sections. The penial wall is smooth. The PP is big, rounded to rhomboid, smooth with a round to blunt apex. The P-E transition presents a first distal ER, while both the PP and ELP originate from the second proximal ER. The epiphallar formula is: 1ER+2ER(PP+ELP). The E shows a pattern of 4 to 6 smooth longitudinal pleats. These pleats merge one into another forming two main smooth pleats that run as far as the vas deferens. The V shows a weak irregular pattern of smooth pleats.

Following the caption of fig. 10 &quot;M. della Scala&quot; was wrongly identified by Nordsieck as Monte Kumeta. Information provided by locals during field collections allowed us to ascertain that Monte della Scala is an old, almost forgotten toponym for Monte Maganoce. Monte Maganoce was once named &quot;Monte della Scala&quot; because of the church called &quot;Madonna della Scala&quot; was located along its slopes.

Moreover, in the text Nordsieck cited samples SMF 67544, 96458, while in fig. 10 the caption indicated the sample as &quot;N 10008&quot;. Thus, it is not clear if the depicted specimen originated from Benoit or from a different source and kept in
