<blockquote type="cite" cite>Now, whether you want to treat<i>
Cornu</i> as a genus or subgenus really doesn't much matter, but for
what it is worth, Roth & Sadeghian list the species as<i>
Helix</i> (<i>Cornu</i>)<i> aspersa</i>; i.e., treat<i> Cornu</i> as a
subgenus of<i> Helix.</i> (But, I use<i> Cornu
aspersum</i>).</blockquote>

<div><i>I assume that H. aspersa was the type species of Cryptomphalus
Agassiz in Charpentier 1837, which then falls into direct synonymy
with Cornu?</i></div>

<div><i>Are any of these other supraspecific names synonyms of
Cornu:</i></div>
