Dear Michael
Thanks for this info. I've searched in areas described by Bech (1990) but
have not seen P. papillaris. It seems as though there are no records, at
least recent, from Spain/Portugal. Any other info on this species would be
appreciated, I'm putting together a short article on this species.
Thanks
Alex

Subject: AW: Papillifera papillaris - or bidens?
Dear Alex,
I have specimens labeled "Ca'n Pastilla, Mallorca" collected in July 1980
which I got by exchange form another collector. I didn't find it myself in
Estartit (GE) or other places in Catalonia where I went looking for snails.
Bech (1990) gives some places quoting Haas (1929) and Vilella (Notas
malacológicas. IV. Nuevas citas de dispersión. Misc. Zool., 2 (2): 17-21,
1967).
According to Falkner et al. (see below) it is introduced in France.
Concerning the name, there is a case (3319) (see
http://www.iczn.org/BZNSeptember2005cases.htm) submitted to the ICZN by
Giusti and Manganelli to conserve the name Papillifera papillaris (O. F.
Müller 1774) (obviously popular in southern Europe) and to drop the older
name Papillifera bidens (Linnaeus 1758). However, the name P. bidens L. is
now used in the CLECOM project (the European non-marine mollusca checklist)
and a neotype has been selected to prevent, among others, that we might have
to shift from our well known Cochlodina laminata (Montagu) to C. bidens (L.)
(see the French checklist by Falkner, Ripken and Falkner, p. 113 with a
detailed comment). Also have a look at the comment on animalbase at
http://www.animalbase.uni-goettingen.de/zooweb/servlet/AnimalBase/home/speci
estaxon?id=4696
Is all this boring you US seashell collectors eventually?
Greetings from Germany
Michael
