Type material.
Not located.
Type locality.
Switzerland: Weesen . “ Se trouve en diverses localités, n’est pas rare à Wesen ” ( Roffiaen, 1868: 70) .
Taxonomic status.
Junior synonym of Arianta arbustorum (Linnaeus, 1758) .
Discussion.
This variety was described to denote specimens lacking the dark spiral bands seen on the shells of typical Arianta arbustorum . As for the case of the yellow shells of the variety icterica above, this is part of the common colour polymorphism known in A. arbustorum ( Cook and King 1966; Grime and Blythe 1969; Burla and Stahel 1983; Burla 1984; von Proschwitz et al. 2023). Thus, even without having access to type material, Roffiaen’s (1868) description, along with current knowledge on A. arbustorum , is sufficient to surmise that A. A. marmorata is synonymous with A. arbustorum .
