Label.

Dimensions.
"Longit. 52 mil., latit. 25 millim."; figured specimen herein H 43.7 D 23.3, W 6.2.
Type material.
NHMUK 1854.12.4.125, five paralectotypes ( d’Orbigny coll.).
Remarks.
d’Orbigny did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The types series appears to have been split between the MNHN and NHMUK collections. None of the specimens in London match the original figures, while one of the specimens in Paris is close to the published dimensions. The current systematic position follows the synonymisation of this taxon with Helix hygrohylea d’Orbigny, 1835, by Miquel (1989b: 77); this author, however, overlooked that Helix abyssorum has page priority. Cuezzo et al. (2013) disageed with this synonymisation.
Current systematic position.
Bulimulidae , Drymaeus (Drymaeus) abyssorum ( d’Orbigny, 1835).
