Helix rubella var. faliconensis Caziot, Moll. Monaco, 1910, p. 87, pl. iv., f. 5: 
The var. rubella is somewhat reddish in colour, paling towards the apex. 
The sub-var. rubeseens resembles the sub-var. galloprovincialis, but has the 
last whorl reddish. 
The sub-var. semirufa has the last whorl reddish. 
The sub-var. eharpentieri is described as a dirty-white or horny cinereous 
variety of Theba rubella. 
The sub-var. faliconensis differs from var. rwbel/a in its less convex and almost 
subcarinate body-whorl and slightly conoid spire. 
The sub-var. putotiana (the Helix putotiana and Helix putoni of Caziot, and 
not Helix putonii or putotiana aseribed to Clessin, which is probably a Hygromia), 
is depressly globose, of a pale reddish-horn colour, with a very oblique aperture. 
Diam. 13 mill. ; alt. 8 mill. 
The sub-var. riparia is globose, reddish horny-yellow, the last whorl entirely 
reddish, with whitish suture. Diam., 20-22 mill. ; alt., 14-16 mill. 
The Italian author, Dr. Picaglia, unites the var. da Brae with the var. rubella. 
Though the allocation of 7. rubella and 7. charpenticri to the present species is 
probably” correct, that course is not universally approved by scientists, some prefer- 
ing to give them specific rank, while others include them as forms of T. cartusiana.
