Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

I have removed the info about this snail burying to a depth of "400 m", while I check this with the malacologist who created the entry on AnimalBase where it says it buries to a depth of "700 m". I am assuming this was a typo and should read 700 mm, which is about 2 feet deep. Will tweak the article when I hear back from the expert. Thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 13:33, 13 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Francisco Welter-Schultes explained to me that he had meant that the species occurs up to an altitude of 700 m in southeastern Bulgaria. Now I am fixing our article to reflect that change in teh AnimalBase entry. Invertzoo (talk) 18:17, 13 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
