Ariophanta huberi  Thach, 2018 is not a pulmonate, but a juvenile  Pollicaria rochebruni  (Mabille, 1887) (Gastropoda: Cyclophoroidea: Pupinidae)

Two new synonyms of the pupinid Pollicaria rochebruni (Mabille, 1887) are recognised here. Namely, Hybocystis balansai Mabille, 1889, and Ariophanta huberi Thach, 2018. The former was found in the collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris), and was not included in the recent revision of the genus Pollicaria, whereas the latter was described based on a single juvenile shell somewhat reminiscent of a helicarionid shell.
