Sherborn seems not to list the borealis "Beck" Lyell. The impression
I get is that the figure and name are found in different publications,
but I haven't yet been able to track down the actual details, nor have
I quickly located Morch.
I've hit a similar type of problem with regard to "Lymnaea" bulla. It
was originally published as a nude name from eastern India (and
misspelled in the text, as butta). Much later (though not too late to
qualify as a description), an illustration identified as bulla was
published with somewhat different (though vague and ambiguous)
locality data. Fortunately, pretty much any interpretation puts it in
the same genus, as it is a type species.
