Albinaria idaea is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails. [3]

Contents

Two percostate populations are known. Based on shell characters, Albinaria idaea seems closely related to Albinaria ariadne , except that Albinaria ariadne has a weak basalis. It has been stated that further research is necessary to clarify the status of Albinaria ariadne . [4]

Distribution

This species occurs in Greece. It is known from central Crete and the Paximadia islands. [4] [5]

Subspecies

There is no consensus concerning the identification of subspecies in Albinaria idaea. Two contradictory systems have been proposed:

Molecular genetic analyses have to clarify the status of the subspecies described.
