Dear Scott,
For the differences between Lampedusa (+ Imitatrix) and Muticaria I refer
you to Giusti, Manganelli & Schembri, 1995. The non-marine molluscs of the
Maltese Islands. Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali, Torino, Monografie,
15: 607 pp. The subject is treated on pages 336-343.
regards,
Henk K. Mienis
