Syntypes.

MNHN (examined by us).

Our concept of this species is based on the type series of O. viridis (see Fig. 9L ). Shell is almost globose, with relatively wide and short spire and heavily-inflated body whorl. Aksenova et al. (2018a) recorded O. viridis from Indonesia. Numerous recordings of this species from other areas, including China, Mongolia, Thailand, Siberia, Spain and some others ( Hubendick 1951; Brandt 1974; Kruglov and Starobogatov 1985a, 1993b; Schniebs et al. 2017; Vinarski et al. 2017), were based chiefly on morphological evidence and, therefore, the actual range of O. viridis sensu Aksenova et al. (2018a) is unclear.
