It has been stated that further research is necessary whether Albinaria ariadne is an independent species. Based on shell characters it seems closely related to Albinaria idaea, except that Albinaria ariadne has a weak basalis.[4]
Distribution
editThis species occurs in Greece. It is only known from a local occurrence near Orthés (S of Perama) in northern central Crete.[4][5]
