Status The taxon is based on the species' record in Klein (1846), to which Pfeffer referred the authorship. However, Klein had merely cited the record from Zieten and did not introduce a new taxon. Klein's record is presently considered a synonym of Parachloraea oxystoma (Thomä, 1845) (Harzhauser et al. 2014). Moreover, the name is invalid as a junior homonym of Helix depressa Montagu, 1803 (and several other species-group taxa). [details]
