A sinistral specimen of H. nitens var. nitidula recorded from Stanserjoch in the 
Tyrol by Gredler (Nachrbl. Deutsch. Mal. Ges., 1879, p. 107). 
Geographical Distribution.—Hyulinia nitidula is found diffused 
over almost the whole of Europe, except the Balkan peninsula. H. nitidula 
is omitted by Luther in his account of the mollusca of Finland as a species 
not found in that country. Herr H. Schlesch has, however, sent undoubted 
specimens collected at Hango. 
he reported occurrence in Western Canada is very puzzling, and is 
probably merely an accidental introduction. ; 
In the British Isles its occurrence has been verified from nearly every 
county and vice-county into which the country is divided.
