Dear Helmut,
A tentative revision of the genus Pyramidula was published by Gittenberger,
E. & Bank, R.A., 1996. A new start in Pyramidula (Gastropoda Pulmonata:
Pyramidulidae). Basteria, 60: 71-78. According to their results the
following species of Pyramidula are encountered in Spain: Pyramidula
jaenensis (Clessin, 1882), Pyramidula pusilla (Vallot, 1801), Pyramidula
rupestris (Draparnaud, 1801) and a form of pusilla which resembles the
British Pyramidula umbilicata (Montagu, 1803). With other words: if you
manage to get material from Spain then you have first to verify to which
species it really belongs.
Best regards,
Henk K. Mienis.
