Pupa boileausiana Küster, 1845: pl. 13 figs 21–23.

Type locality: France, Ariège , Vicdessos .

Distribution.— France, Departments of Ariège, Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales. See Gittenberger (1973: 96).

Description (after Gittenberger 1973).—Shell rather fragile as compared to other A. secale forms, less slender and more conical, with 7 3/4–9 1/2 whorls, which are weakly to moderately inflated and sculptured with regularly placed, axial ribs. Body whorl obliquely flattened, not or only slightly narrowed and without keel. A slight external indentation accompanies the palatalis superior, just behind the apertural edge. The palatal side of the aperture slightly leaning forward (in lateral view). Umbilicus open. Shell height, 5.4–7.4 mm; width, 2.2–2.5 mm.

Apertural lip moderately to strongly thickened; its parietal edges connected by a faint callus. Angularis connected with spiralis. Subangularis more or less prominent. Infraparietalis present. Columellaris clearly stronger and longer than infracolumellaris, gently curving upward to the edge of the aperture. Infrapalatalis, palatalis inferior and palatalis superior clearly indented and reaching up to the edge of the aperture. At the anterodorsal palatal centre, a suprapalatalis and a weak suturalis are present. Aperture narrowed by the strongly developed columellar and parietal folds; distances between those folds smaller than their own height.
