In 1758, in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae, the Swedish scientist and taxonomist Carl Linnaeus described the class "Vermes" as: [1]. Animals of slow motion, soft substance, able to increase their bulk and restore parts which have been destroyed, extremely tenacious of life, and the inhabitants of moist places.
(Original description) The rimate shell is globosely turbinate. It is rather thin, and shiny, with an orange horn color that becomes much paler on the body whorl near the aperture.
The species name was originally published as Ptinus globulum by Solier in 1849, under the "section" (equivalent to a subgenus) he named therein as Trigonogenius. [3] Numerous subsequent authors have historically misspelled the name as globulus, though some sources still use the correct spelling (e.g., [4] [5]).
