Succinea forsheyi, common name the spotted ambersnail, is a species of small, air-breathing, land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Succineidae, the amber snails.
Succinea concordialis is partially synonymous to Succinea forsheyi according to Hubrich (1985).[4]
Original description of Succinea concordialis[]
Succinea concordialis was originally discovered and described by Augustus Addison Gould in Latin language in 1848.[1]
Gould's original text (the type description) reads as follows:
SUCCINEA CONCORDIALIS. Testâ tenui, lucidâ, obliquè ovatâ,
acuminatâ, reflexâ, cereâ et ad apicem rubicundâ, leviter striatâ et lineis obscuris volventibus insculptâ; anfr. 3 perobliquis, supernis parvulis, tumidis, suturâ profunda; aperturâ ovatâ, trientes duæ longitudinis testæ æquante, basi rotundatâ; columellâ arcuatâ, absque plicâ, leviter arrectâ; intus micante. Long ½, lat. ⅓ poll. Hab. near Lake Concordia.
At first view, this might be mistaken for Limnea columella. Its color and texture are like , from which it differs chiefly in the slight upturning of the edge of the columellar lip,
the presence of the obscure revolving lines and the ruddy apex.
Distribution[]
