Nomenclature Cowie et al. (2004) considered Spix’s names take precedence over Wagner’s. However, Roosen & Breure (2024) argued that Spix’s Solarium imperforatum has not been used as valid since Gray (1847), so replacing Wagner’s Helix vitrina with Spix’s name would threaten the stability of the taxon in their opinion. As the conditions of ICZN Article 23.9.1. are not met, they declared "we cannot make the decision to maintain the name ourselves but must refer the case to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (Roosen & Breure submitted)". Contrary to Roosen & Breure (2024) who decided to tentatively use Helix vitrina following prevailing usage in recent papers, MolluscaBase adheres strictly to the Code and uses Spix's name as the valid one.
