Rhagada colona (Martens, 1877) View in CoL

Helix colona Martens, 1877: 272 View in CoL , pl. 1, figs 4, 5 (from ‘ Dana Island GoogleMaps , SW of Timor’, centre at 10° 58' 59.35" S, 122° 52' 5.86" E; eight syntypes ZMB Moll. 26629, not seen)

Rhagada plectilis colona View in CoL – Rensch, 1931: 95.

Taxonomic history. While Rensch (1931) treated R. colona as subspecies of the Australian species Plectorhagada plectilis based on a similar shell, Maassen (2009) maintained it as a distinct species. Museum material from Savu Island has also been assigned to this species under an unpublished variety name (ZMB Moll. 52292).

Diagnosis. Shell comparatively small, smooth, umbilicus forming a chink (Martens, 1877; Maassen, 2009). Genitalia unknown.

Remarks. Poorly characterised by reference to shell features; comparative study of anatomical and molecular characters required to confirm status.
