Abstract

Building on the recent re-allocation of Helix sordulenta to the genus Schileykiella, this paper provides further insights into the taxonomy, palaeontology, and distribution of Schileykiella in North Africa. Additionally, the taxon Helix mendicaria L. Pfeiffer, 1860, described from Tunisia, is here proposed as a junior synonym of Schileykiella sordulenta (Morelet, 1851), and the taxon Xerophila chadiana darnensis Hey, 1955, described from Derna (Cyrenaica, Libya), is identified as a possible congeneric fossil species.

Abstract

New data on the shell and the genital anatomy as well as on distribution and ecology of Eubrephulus peloponnesicus (E. Gittenberger, 1984) are presented. The morphology of genitalia and shell confirm the classification as Eubrephu­lus. Differences to the genera Chondrula and Mastus are discussed.
