- This species is in the family Staffordiidae. Whether this species name is still considered a valid name I do not know. It is mentioned here: [1]Invertzoo (talk) 22:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)] and here: [2]]

This article looks pretty bad. There seems to be numerous uncited material such as
- In some languages, the dart that these snails use before mating is known as an "arrow". For example, in German it is called a Liebespfeil or "love arrow", and in Czech it is šíp lásky (which means "arrow of love").
- possibly many things in the tables
Then there's the fact that this article is mostly empty and likely fails broadness. There are three tables that are completely empty, 2 tables that are incomplete and other tables who may not be cited. There needs to be some fixing here. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Tables have been empty since 2008. Wow. Not good at all. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:28, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Going to delist this for 2a (missing citations), but I disagree on broadness. Some empty tables are a layout issue (1b) / a comprehensiveness issue (at FA level). But there is plenty of material in existing tables to meet the broadness criterion. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
