Abida vergniesiana

Description

Abida vergniesiana (Küster, 1850) (pl. 8 figs H–J)

Type locality: France, Ariège, Vicdessos.

Distribution.— Andorra and Ariège valley in France.

Genetic barcode.—GenBank accession numbers EU395327 – EU395328.

Notes.—On the basis of shell characters this species was regarded as a subspecies of A. pyrenaearia by Gittenberger (1973). Molecular studies indicate that it should be considered the sister-species of A. ateni, despite the fact that the shells of both species are very different (Kokshoorn 2008: 93). Additional research should make clear whether this result can be confirmed.
