Abstrakt: AbstractPopulations of Monacha atacisfrom southern Occitania in France and of M. samsunensisfrom northern Anatolia in Turkey (Atakum/Samsun and Kastamonu) were investigated by an integrative approach based on morphological (shell and genitalia) and molecular (mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences) features. Morphological examination revealed a complex pattern of variation within and between geographically separated populations, while molecular analysis showed strong similarity between the two species, confirming earlier suggestions that the species are conspecific. Pfeiffer’s name Helix samsunensisintroduced in 1868 has priority over the name M. atacisgiven by Gittenberger & de Winter in 1985.
