Dear Mariah,

Brephulopsis was proposed by Lindholm in 1925 as a replacement name for
Brephulus Westerlund, 1902, not of Beck, 1837.  The type is Chondrus attenuatus
Krynicki, 1833.  Zilch (p. 188)treats it as a subgenus of Zebrina (Pulmonata:
Enidae: Eninae).

In the same work Peristoma Krynicki, 1833 [type Ena merdueniana Krynicki, 1833]
is treated as a subgenus of Ena (same subfamily as above; p. 183).

This might be a good one for our man in Tirol.

Ref.: Zilch, A., 1959.  Gastropoda von Wilhelm Wenz. Teil 2 Euthyneura.
Gebrüder
Borntraeger, Berlin-Nikolassee, xii + pp. 1-834.
