Helix johniiHolten, 1802, p. 76, [Chemnitz 1795, pl. 210, fig. 2076] [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Not stated Comments: Rehder (1980) considered R. johnii a senior synonym of R. hargravesii, but the original description of former states that it has peripheral keel. Abbott (1963) stated that R. johnii comes from India, but Chemnitz (1795: 284) said that John of Tranquebar, from who he received the specimen he illustrated, had not told him if it came from Coromandel, Ceylon, the Nicobar Islands or other East Indian locations, nor whether it was land, freshwater or marine.
