Note Pilsbry fixed Helix rossiteriana as the type...
Type species Pilsbry fixed Helix rossiteriana as the type species. This was not a nominal species originally included in Monomphalus, but Crosse (1872) had unnecessarily established Helix heckeliana as a nom. nov. pro H. rossiteriana, non Helix rossiteri Angas, 1869, and H. heckeliana was an originally included species. Pilsbry's type species designation is valid, and has priority over Solem's (1961, Fieldiana, Zoology, 41(3): 464) fixation of Helix bavayi Crosse & Marie, 1868 [also as originally included species].
