Article Synopsis
- The genus was first described by Lowe in 1861 based on limited samples from North Africa, but faced taxonomic confusion leading to its neglect in later years.
- A 2002 study by Mienis revived the genus, but subsequent research by Prevot et al. suggested it was simply a large variant of another species.
- This study identifies and distinguishes two groups of shells from France attributed to different species, providing new morphological data and reporting the presence of a North African taxon in southern France for the first time.
Urbanization is one of the main threats to biodiversity. However, some urban green spaces could act as refuges for urban fauna if the composition of the flora were less horticultural and if a less intensive management strategy is adopted. Among the taxa, butterflies are experiencing a strong decline from European to regional scales.
