Type material.

RBINS I.G.9154 / MT.1771 : 3 possible syntypes, ex de Cort coll.

Type locality.

Switzerland: Andeer .

Taxonomic status.

Junior synonym of Laciniaria plicata plicata (Draparnaud, 1801) .

Discussion.

According to the specimens’ labels, they were collected at the type locality Andeer and stem from the collection of Hugo de Cort. Furthermore, one of the labels states “ types ”, but there is no mention of Roffiaen or his collection. Thus, the present specimens are here considered as possible syntypes.

Laciniaria plicata plicata is widely distributed in Central Europe, including Switzerland ( Turner et al. 1998; Nordsieck 2008). The elongated spire of Roffiaen’s variety is well within the known variation in shell shape and size known in L. p. plicata ( Nordsieck 2008) .
