We proposed the name De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018 for a small group of land snails that are endemic to the island of Porto Santo and some of its sourrounding islet in the Madeiran Archipelago (De Mattia et al. 2018). Unfortunately, and only explicable as the consequence of a whole chain of small mistakes or omissions, it slipped our attention that the name is a junior homonym of Heer, 1852 (), Horn, 1873 () and Machado, 1984 () (see Heer 1852: 13, Horn 1873: 433–434, Machado 1984: 131). ConPageBreaksequently, the genus needs a new name and we herewith propose nom. n. as a new replacement name for De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018. The type species of nom. n. is the nominal species [] R. T. Lowe, 1831. A detailed description of the genus is given in De Mattia et al. (2018) under the name . Included are the following species and subspecies: (R. T. Lowe, 1831), comb. n., (R. T. Lowe, 1855), comb. n., (De Mattia & Groh, 2018), comb. n., (Groh, Neiber & De Mattia, 2018), comb. n., (Wollaston, 1878), comb. n., (De Mattia & Groh, 2018), comb. n., (De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018), comb. n., (De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018), comb. n., (De Mattia & Neiber, 2018), comb. n., (R.
