The replacement name given by Récluz refers to the Neritina baetica of Deshayes, 1835 (not that of Lamarck, 1822), which is described by the drawings reproduced above (source Gallica), and by this sentence: « It is subglobose, rather thick, of a shiny black, usually without blotch, sometimes provided with a little number of white dots; its summit is usually eroded, as it happens in most of the freshwater shells. » – (item 213, p.155 of the Molluscs).

In fact, most of the specimens have « a little number of white dots ». Pure black shells are uncommon. Subadult specimen collected on stones near the spring once dedicated to Aphrodite, eastern side of Gribovo beach, Nafpaktos, southern Aetolia-Acarnania. 4,7mm.
