Notes
Glöer and Zettler (2005) noted that in Germany nearly 70 different
"species" were originally described, which were reduced by Bolling
(1965) to 3 species, so for some periods there was little recording.
In this problematic genus, they continued to list those species and
subspecies
on CLECOM (Check List of European Continental Mollusca),
but noting that as long as we adhere solely to the shells
there will
be no progress. A revision
of this genus is urgently needed and in
Stuttgart, research with DNA analysis is ongoing for this problem.
A conservation
assessment
is made based on data
from
shell morphology pending the results for full analysis for the group
using Falkner and Niederhöfer (2008), however unless there is indicated
active
specific species survey data, some species listed as or Extinct
or Possibly Extinct have been placed into threatened categories.
