REMARKS

Olivier’s text was published in two formats (Baur & Adler 2003): a large format (quarto) version (three volumes, with Ampullaria carinata on page 39 of the second volume) and a small format (octavo) version (six volumes, with the first and second volumes, third and fourth volumes, and fifth and sixth volumes corresponding, respectively, to the first, second and third volumes of the quarto version, and with Ampullaria carinata on page 68 of the third volume). Both versions use the genus name Ampullaria . The Atlas appeared in three parts (livraisons) corresponding to the three volumes of the quarto version and respectively with the six octavo volumes. The Atlas (second livraison), which includes an “explication des planches” and the plates themselves, uses the genus name Cyclostoma . There is no evidence that the corresponding volumes of the two versions of the text and the three parts of the Atlas were not published simultaneously ( Bauer & Adler 2003). It is therefore not possible to ascertain the original combination, Ampullaria or Cyclostoma . A label with lot 4640 is probably an original label of Olivier. To stabilise the name we therefore selected the lectotype from this lot. The specimen figured by Tillier & Mordan (1983: pl. 5, fig. 3) is from lot 4708.
