From editor or global species database
Nomenclature Edentulina is a distinct genus, but its type species is also the type species of Cochlostyla Ferussac, 1821 (Camaenidae) and therefore, unless conserved, it becomes a junior synonym thereof. At present it is not clear what species is represented by the name Bulimus ovoideus Bruguiere, 1789. [details]
