Nomenclature Kadolsky (2012) has showed that the real Helix littorina delle Chiaje, 1828, was most probably based on small specimens of Melarhaphe neritoides (Linnaeus, 1758). However, Pfeiffer (1841) based the genus Paludinella on the taxonomic extension given to that name by Philippi (1841), i.e. a misidentified type species. For Paludinella littorina of authors, non delle Chiaje, Kadolsky restored the name Paludinella globularis and, under Art. 70.3 of the Code, designated the latter as type species of Paludinella.
