>>Dear Charles,
>>
>>Likhachev and Rammel'meier (1952) attribute Helix buchi to Louis
>>Pfeiffer, 1853 [as Helix] and consider it separate from H. lucorum
>>Linnaeus, 1758. There is no direct comparison of the two in the
>>text, but the illustrations indicate significant similarity. These
>>figures indicate H. buchi as having a more deflected, smaller, more
>>oblique aperture.
>>
>>The differences in the descriptions are as follows:
>>protoconch smooth in H. lucorum; finely granular in H. buchi.
>>ground color yellow in H. l.; white in H. b.
>>major diameter 41 to 49 mm, height 40 to 47 mm for H. l; 47 to 52 mm
>>and 46 to 50 mm respectively for H. b.
>>flagellum "many times longer than the penis" (about four times in
>>fig.) in H. l; "1 1/2 to 2 times..." in H. b. (genitalia not figured)
>>
>>Let me know if you could use some scans.
