Helicopsis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae.[2][3]
Distribution
Distribution of the genus Helicopsis range Central and Eastern Europe to Iran.[2]
Species
The species composition of Helicopsis was largely reviewed after revisions with methods of molecular taxonomy, many of the previously recognized species were shown to be conspecific and many other to be not related with true Helicopsis.[4][2] After these revisions only 9 or 10 species can be placed into Helicopsis:[4][2]
- Helicopsis striata (O. F. Müller, 1774) - type species,[5] distributed only in Central Europe[2]
- Helicopsis aelleni Hausdorf, 1996 - Northern Iran[2]
- Helicopsis austriaca Gittenberger, 1969 - Austria[4]
- Helicopsis cereoflava (Bielz, 1851) - Romania, probably a synonym of Helicopsis lunulata[2]
- Helicopsis filimargo (Krynicki, 1833) - Southern and Eastern Ukraine, adjacent regions of Russia, extremely variable, previously treated as several species[2]
- Helicopsis gittenbergeri Hausdorf, 1990 - Greece[2]
- Helicopsis hungarica (Soós & H. Wagner, 1935) - Central Europe and isolated locality in Russia[4][2]
- Helicopsis likharevi Schileyko, 1978 - Kopet Dag in Turkmenistan
- Helicopsis lunulata (Krynicki, 1833) - Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, adjacent regions of Russia and probably Poland[2]
- Helicopsis persica Hausdorf & Bössneck, 2016 - Northern Iran[2]
Synonyms that were recognized as species before 21st century:
- Helicopsis dejecta (Rossmässler, 1838) - synonym of Helicopsis filimargo[2]
- Helicopsis instabilis (Rossmässler, 1838) - synonym of Helicopsis lunulata[2]
- Helicopsis paulhessei (Lindholm, 1936) - synonym of Helicopsis filimargo[2]
- Helicopsis retowskii (Clessin, 1883) - synonym of Helicopsis filimargo[2]
Species and synonyms that were placed into Helicopsis, but are not:[2]
- Helicopsis conopsis Morelet, 1876[6]
- Helicopsis gigaxii Haas, 1924 is a synonym of Xerocrassa ripacurcica (Bofill, 1886)[7]
- Helicopsis depulsa (Pintér, 1969)[5]
- Helicopsis cypriola (Westerlund, 1889)[5]
- Helicopsis subcalcarata (Naegele, 1903)[5]
- Helicopsis turcica (Holten, 1802)[5]
