In this paper some helicoid species from eastern Algeria are investigated using a morphological and molecular approach. The investigation of the genital organs of (Morelet, 1851), the type species of the genus Möllendorff, 1898, showed the same autapomorphic character states as are considered typical for P. Hesse, 1913. These findings are fully supported by the genetic analysis using two mitochondrial and three nuclear markers. Thus, the latter genus has to be considered a synonym of the former. Currently, three species are known to comprise the genus, viz. , (E. Forbes, 1838), and (O. F. Müller, 1774). Several nominal taxa from northern Africa are synonymised with one of the species mentioned here under . The generic position of the so-called "" species from the High Atlas Mountains in southern Morocco remains unresolved.
在本文中，我们采用形态学和分子学方法对来自阿尔及利亚东部的一些蜗牛种类进行了研究。对模式种（Morelet，1851）（Möllendorff，1898属）的生殖器官进行研究后发现，其具有与1913年Hesse所描述的典型特征相同的自近裔性状状态。使用两个线粒体标记和三个核标记进行的遗传分析充分支持了这些发现。因此，后一个属必须被视为前一个属的同义词。目前已知该属包含三个物种，即（E. Forbes，1838）、（O. F. Müller，1774）。来自北非的几个命名分类单元被同义化为这里提到的物种之一。来自摩洛哥南部高阿特拉斯山脉的所谓“”物种的分类地位仍未确定。
