Taxonomic remark Nekola et al. (2018: 52): We have provisionally assigned our material to V. utahensis based on the overall shell shape and small aperture size which are similar to the V. columbiana utahensis holotype (ANSP 119009). However, this specimen lacks an an-gular lamella which is present in all our material. Because V. utahensis was described from only a single shell, it is impossible to assess concho-logical variability within the type population and thus to determine whether our form falls within this concept. Until more material is available for comparison – especially from the type locality – we feel it prudent not to erect a new name. [details]
