Leaf-litter-dwelling microsnails of Prince Edward Island, Canada (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Eupulmonata)

چکیده
Samples of leaf litter were collected from 22 woodland sites throughout Prince Edward Island, Canada. Eighty-two specimens belonging to 15 species litter-dwelling land snails recovered 20 the samples. One-third species— Carychium exile H.C. Lea, 1842, Helicodiscus shimeki Hubricht, 1982, Strobilops labyrinthicus (Say, 1817), Perpolita binneyana (Morse, 1864), and Striatura ferrea Morse, 1864—were previously undocumented in literature as occurring PEI. Leaf-litter sampling, even smaller quantities, is an effective method for finding often-neglected terrestrial mollusc fauna, which composed largely minute species.
