Type material. USNM – 170652 — 1 v sn “ Lepton lepisma Montr. = Scacchia crispata Folin (Algiers, Joly)” (van Aartsen, 1982: 125).

MCZR –M–14683 — 3 v dx “ Lepton lepisma Monts. n.sp. Alger (Joly)!” + original label by Joly, “ Lepton lepisma Mont Alger valve”.

Type locality. Described from Algeria.

Remarks. Recorded by MolluscaBase (2018) as a synonym of Vasconiella jeffreysiana (P. Fischer in de Folin & Périer, 1873) based on van Aartsen (1982). Monterosato explicitly based the description on a single valve, whereas in the collection the lot (original from Joly as stated in the original description) includes three valves. Additionally, another possible syntype, also originating from Joly, is in the Jeffreys collection (USNM), as reported by van Aartsen (1982).
