Dear all,
 
Rumina decollata decollata (Linnaeus, 1758) belongs to the
family Subulinidae like the genera Opeas or Lamellaxis. They
are usually brown and there are thicker and slender specimens
The last ones can be called Rumina decollata gracilis (L. Pfeiffer, 1859), but it's not necessary to do so.
The distribution of this species are mainly the Mediterranea countris from Italy to Greece etc.
with best regards
Helmut Nisters
