Fleming, J. (1828).

Type species As first noted by Welter-Schultes [2012, European non-marine molluscs: 113], Fleming referred to Turbo tridens (Müller) sensu<> Pulteney 1799 [Catalogue of the birds, shells, and some of the more rare plants of Dorsetshire: 46], and stated that this is not Helix tridens of Müller (1774). As such, Fleming deliberately applied a misidentified name in conjunction with a new genus and is therefore deemed to have introduced a new nominal species with his authorship and date (Art. 11.10).
