'''''Albinaria idaea''''' is a [[species]] of air-breathing [[land snail]], a [[terrestrial molluscs|terrestrial]] [[pulmonate]] [[gastropod]] [[mollusk]] in the family [[Clausiliidae]], the door snails.<ref name="worms">MolluscaBase 2018. ''Albinaria idaea'' (L. Pfeiffer, 1850). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1027388 on 2019-01-20</ref>

Two percostate populations are known. Based on shell characters, ''Albinaria idaea'' seems closely related to [[Albinaria_ariadne|''Albinaria ariadne'']], except that [[Albinaria_ariadne|''Albinaria ariadne'']] has a weak basalis. It has been stated that further research is necessary to clarify the status of [[Albinaria_ariadne|''Albinaria ariadne'']].<ref name= "Welter-Schultes, F. W. 2010">Welter-Schultes, F. W. 2010.

==Distribution==
This species occurs in [[Greece]]. It is known from central [[Crete]] and the [[Paximadia|Paximadia islands]].<ref name="Welter-Schultes, F. W. 2010"></ref><ref name="Kittel, K., Hirschfelder, H.

==Subspecies==
There is no consens concerning the identification of subspecies in ''Albinaria idaea''. Two contradictory systems have been proposed: 
*In 1977, Nordsieck<ref>Nordsieck, H. 1977a. Zur Anatomie und Systematik der Clausilien, XVII. Taxonomische Revision des Genus ''[[Albinaria]]'' Vest. [[Archiv_für_Molluskenkunde|Archiv für Molluskenkunde]] 107 (4/6): 285-307; Frankfurt am Main.</ref><ref>Nordsieck, H. 1977b. Zur Anatomie und Systematik der Clausilien, XVIII. Neue Taxa rezenter Clausilien. [[Archiv_für_Molluskenkunde|Archiv für Molluskenkunde]] 108 (1/3):73-107. Frankfurt am Main.</ref>  distinguished 6 subspecies, of which one (''[[Albinaria idaea zeus]]'') was later rejected by Nordsieck in 1998<ref>Nordsieck, H. 1998.  A new subspecies of Albinaria idaea ( L. Pfeiffer, 1850) ([[Gastropoda]], [[Stylommatophora]]: [[Clausiliidae]]). Heldia, 2 (5/6): 123-126, pl. 17; München.</ref>. In 2017, one additional subspecies (''[[Albinaria idaea letoana]]'') was described by Nordsieck.<ref>Nordsieck, H. 2017. New Species Taxa of the Genus ''[[Albinaria]]'' Vest ([[Gastropoda]], [[Stylommatophora]]: [[Clausiliidae]]. in [[Crete]]. Conchylia 48(1-2):9-30 Öhringen.</ref> 
*In contrast, Welter Schultes <ref name="Welter-Schultes, F. W. 2010"></ref> and other authors did not agree with Nordsiecks subspecies classification and proposed to distinguish no subspecies at all.<ref name="Kittel, K., Hirschfelder, H. J. 2018"></ref> 

Molecular genetic analyses have to clarify the status of the subspecies described.
