(invalid: junior homonym of Helix constricta Boubée, 1836; H. restricta and H. stenopsis are replacement names). Mollendorff treats this as a valid species. Mollendorff lists mutatio major from Mindoro with no description or comment. This is considered a nomen nudum here. He also treat Chloraea undina (L. Pfeiffer, 1856) as a subspecies of C. constricta.
