Notes on Morphology of Amnicola Limosa (say, 1817) (gastropoda: Hydrobiidae) with Comments on Status of the Subfamily Amnicolinae
نویسندگان
چکیده
A morphological description is provided for Amnicola limosa (Say) (Gastropoda: Hydrobiidae), type-species for the genus. The group consisting of Amnicola and several European genera is retained in the Amnicolinae Tryon, 1866, based on shared distinctive aspects of reproductive biology. Subfamilial affinities probably lie with Hydrobiidae: Emmericiinae and/or Bithyniidae, the only other rissoacean groups having tubular glands in the penis.

Phylogenetic relationships of the Cochliopinae (Rissooidea: Hydrobiidae): an enigmatic group of aquatic gastropods.
Phylogenetic analysis based on a partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene was performed for 26 representatives of the aquatic gastropod subfamily Cochliopinae, 6 additional members of the family Hydrobiidae, and outgroup species of the families Rissoidae and Pomatiopsidae. Maximum-parsimony analysis yielded a single shortest tree which resolved two monophyletic ...

Karucia sublacustrina a new species of freshwater snails (Hydrobiidae, Gastropoda) is described based on material collected from Skadar Lake (Montenegro, Albania). The new species belongs to monotypic genus Karucia gen. n. The shell morphology and body shape of the new genus resembles Radomaniola Szarowska, 2006 and Grossuana Radoman, 1973, from which it differs in the larger shells with relati...

Geographic variation in shell morphometry is analyzed for three locally endemic springsnail (Gastropoda: Hydrobiidae) species occurring sympatrically in nine limnocrenes of the Cuatro Cienegas Basin, Coahuila, Mexico. Despite some correlation of size-related variables across species, groupings of populations based on multivariate analyses were not very similar among species, nor were they stron...
