Taxonomic remark Bulimus lignarius L. Pfeiffer, 1842 and Helix lignaria L. Pfeiffer, 1847 are secondary homonyms only in Cochlostyla. B. lignarius is now known as Calocochlea lignaria (L. Pfeiffer, 1842), while H. lignaria is now known as Cochlostyla lignaria (L. Pfeiffer, 1847), rendering Cochlostyla depressa C. Semper, 1877 an unnecessary replacement name. [details]
