The name cemenelea of Risso must have precedence, being anterior to that of 
Dupuy’s galloprovincialis with which it is generally regarded as identical. In any 
event Dupuy’s name is inadmissible, on account of the name having been used by 
Matheron in 1842 to distinguish a quite different fossil species. 
This is the form described by Draparnaud as Helix carthusiana and also named 
by Risso Theba cemenelea, a name derived from the locality Cemeleum (now Cimiez) 
where it was first noticed by him. According to Nevill, it especially frequents the 
subalpine regions of the Alpes Maritimes. 
Prof. von Martens has remarked that this is the subglobose, more inflated form, 
of finer texture, whitish colour, and partially concealed umbilicus, which is gener- 
ally distributed along the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea from South France to 
Southern Italy. 
Fic. 129. Fic. 130. Bie. 13. 
Fic. 129.—Helix cemenelea Risso, Alpes Maritimes, slightly reduced (after Caziot). 
Fic. 130.—Helix ancone Issel, Alpes Maritimes, slightly reduced (after Caziot). 
Fic. 131.—Helix spallanzani Stef. = Helix cemenelea var. isseli Vagli, Tuscany, slightly reduced 
(after de Stefani). 
The var. eemenelea is somewhat depressly globose, whitish or yellowish-white 
in colour, finely striate, and more narrowly umbilicate. 
The Corsican Helix ousterea Mabille is apparently slightly different from the 
var. cemenelea, shown chiefly in a scarcely perceptible angulation of the periphery. 
Thesub-var. galloprovincialis 
is described as more globose than 
T. cantiana, with a more elevated 
spire and finer strize and sculpturing, 
the umbilicus narrower and _ parti- 
ally concealed by the columellar lip.

and the peristome white interiorly and reddish exteriorly. 
The sub-var. aneonee is described as depressly globose, uniformly yellowish- 
white or whitish, closely and finely striate, and with numerous shallow malleations 
and close, short, and spiral microscopic lineation, especially on the upper side, very 
narrowly umbilicate, and also partially covered by the reflection of the basal margin. 
Diam., 12-14 mill. ; alt., 8-11 mill. 
The Helix cemenelea var. isseli Stef. from the Apuan Alps, Tuscany, has been 
renamed Helix spallanzani Stef. because the name isseli had already been used for 
another species of Helix.
