Abstract
Because of the suspicion that Caracollina lenticula on the Canary Islands concerns more taxa, fossil and extant shells, as well as living specimens, were compared conchologically and anatomically. In addition to type material, specimens from the Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands and Andalusia were included in the study. Three previously described species were identified: Caracollina lenticula, C. virilis, and C. huloti. These three species are being redescribed.
