The difference between the genera Volvarina and Prunum is not clearly delineated and is based on morphological differences in the shells. Larger species with a strong callus are classified under Prunum, while the slender species with a thin callus are classified under Volvarina. Many species with characteristics that fall between the two extremes are ambiguous. Until at least 2010 there was no phylogenetic analysis to substantiate this classification.[1]

gollark: No. Not portable and annoying.
gollark: Lua + small amounts of C would probably be slower but fit into a few tens of kilobytes.
