Abstract
The journey of Prof. Emil A. Rossmässler in 1853 in Spain and the type locality of Iberus angustatus (Rossmässler, 1854) (Gastropoda, Helicidae) We have identified the type locality of Helix Guiraoana var. angustata Rossmässler, 1854 as ‘located in the heights surrounding the Venta del Molinillo near the Sierra de los Dientes de la Vieja, Diezma, Granada’, from the description given by Rossmässler about his journey in the south east of Spain in 1853. The molecular analysis (COI and 16S) of a topotype collected live allowed us to confirm the identification of clade 4 of the genus Iberus proposed by Elejalde et al. (2008) with H. Guiraoana var. angustata, currently I. angustatus.
