Limnæa peregra var. pulchella Roffiaen, 1868: 77, pl. 1, fig. 8.

Type material.

RBINS I.G.7065 / MT.4173 : 3 syntypes, ex Colbeau coll.

Type locality.

Switzerland: Altdorf, in a ditch on the plains towards Seedorf . “ […] dans un fossé de la plaine d’Altorf vers Seedorf (M. Colbeau) ” ( Roffiaen 1868: 77).

Taxonomic status.

Junior synonym of Peregriana peregra (O. F. Müller, 1774) (cf. Hubendick 1951; Vinarski 2024).

Discussion.

The present lot stems from the collection of Jules Colbeau, it comes from the type locality (Altdorf, spelled “ Altorf ” on label as in the original publication), and the specimens are a good match to the published illustration ( Roffiaen 1868: pl. 1, fig. 8); the three specimens it contains are here considered syntypes.
