>Correct spelling and original genus for Albinaria coerulea or
>caerulea Rossmassler 1835

It used to be Albinaria coerulea, but recently I started seeing Albinaria
caerulea in the literature (for example, see section 4 in Welter-Schultes,
F., 2000. Approaching the genus Albinaria in Crete from an evolutionary
point of view (Pulmonata:Clausiliidae). Schriften zur Malakozoologie,
16:1-208). So I asked Francisco Welter-Schultes about it. This was his
answer:

"correct [name] is Albinaria caerulea (DESHAYES 1835). the taxon Clausilia
coerulea ROSSMÄSSLER 1835 is only a junior synonym."
