This species is based on Savigny's figures copied on my plate. It 

 is presumably from the Red Sea, but this is not positively known ; 

 it may possibly be Mediterranean. Vayssiere places it as a doubt- 

 ful synonym under his PL monterosatoi. Cantraine (Malac. Medit. 

 et Lit., p. 90) identifies with oblongus an Adriatic form found by 

 him, but states that he doubts their identity because his species has 

 the back absolutely smooth, while Savigny's figures seem to show it 

 warty. Moreover, the genital apertures are different from known 

 Mediterranean species.
