Taxonomy The separation between the genera Prunum and Volvarina is not clearcut and currently follows a rather arbitrary criterion where the large species with a strong callus are placed in Prunum, the slender species with a thin callus in Volvarina, leaving in between many ambiguous species. To date (2010) there is no phylogenetic analysis behind the current generic placements. [details]

Taxonomy The separation between the genera Prunum and Volvarina is not clearcut and currently follows a rather arbitrary criterion where the large species with a strong callus are placed in Prunum, the slender species with a thin callus in Volvarina, leaving in between many ambiguous species. To date (2010) there is no phylogenetic analysis behind the current generic placements. [details]
