Abstract


In the light of a correct interpretation of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Forés’s proposal (2003) of considering Helix companyonii Aleron, 1837 as an available name for Zoological Nomenclature is discussed. It is demonstrated that this name is not available and that the valid name for the implied taxon is Iberellus pyrenaicus (Rossmässler, 1839), based on Helix hispanica v. pyrenaica Rossmässler, 1839.
