Dear Henk,

We have 2 specimens of these shell in the museum
collection out from the collection Carl Biasioli.
As locality he noted only Egypt. It is a very nice
shell. I've just corrected all. In the Paetel which
is again quite useful, it is again under Viviparidae.
with best shelling greetings and thaking best for
information.
Helmut
