Publication Name: Zoological Systematics

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: 50

Issue: 2

Page Range: 150-158

Description:

Dentisphaera Páll-Gergely & Jochum, 2017 is a troglobitic land snails genus known to harbour only one species found in a single cave in North Vietnam. Based on recently collected specimens from China, three species, Dentisphaera lagredeae Chen, Grego & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., Dentisphaera shzha Chen, Grego & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov. and Dentisphaera zhoui Chen, Lin & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov. are introduced as new to science. The distribution range of Dentisphaera is extended based on the collecting records of these new species.

Description:

Hypselostomatidae is a large family of terrestrial pulmonate molluscs currently represented by 284 extant species, most confined to Southeast Asia. The current system of grouping species into genera is based on the morphology of the apertural barriers and the level of last whorl detachment. However, these characters overlap, challenging generic definitions. In this paper, these characters are evaluated and a novel classification proposed for hypselostomatid species belonging to the genera Anauchen (17 species), Bensonella (36 species), Boysidia (7 species, in part) and Hypselostoma (85 species). We assigned all species belonging to the genera Bensonella and Hypselostoma into two and four species groups respectively, which are characterised by combinations of morphological traits. Altogether 46 new species are described, seven species in Anauchen: A. crassus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. evanidus Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. grandiportus Gojšina, Grego & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. obesus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. picasso Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. turritus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. jokaii Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov.; 19 species in Bensonella: B. alycaeus Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. cardiostoma Gojšina, Vermeulen & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. cristatissima Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. dha Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. dracula Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. exploda Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. fracta Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. microdentata Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. mitochondria Gojšina, Vermeulen & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. mirabilis Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. montawa Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. multidentata Gojšina, A. Reischütz & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. nitens Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. obex Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. perfecta Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. sericata Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. serrata Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. spelaea Gojšina, Grego & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., B. spinosa Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov.; 20 species in Hypselostoma: H. aquila Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. bubalus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. circumcarinatum Gojšina, Auffenberg & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. coriaceum Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. aenigma Gojšina, Grego & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. fortunatum Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. fungus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. geckophilum Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. iunior Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. ophis Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. platybasis Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. populare Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. sculpturatum Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. similare Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. sorormajor Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. sororminor Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. torta Gojšina, Auffenberg & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. vesovici Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. vicinum Gojšina, Auffenberg & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., H. vujici Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov. One replacement name is proposed: H. tertiusfrater Gojšina & Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. pro Boysidia salpinx F. G. Thompson & Dance, 1983, non Hypselostoma salpinx (van Benthem Jutting, 1961) (originally described as Gyliotrachela). Gyliotrachela and Antroapiculus are both treated as junior synonyms of Hypselostoma. An additional 28 species and subspecies are reassigned to the synonymies of other taxa.

A taxonomic revision of the land snail genus Acinolaemus F. G. Thompson & Upatham, 1997 (Gastropoda, Eupulmonata, Hypselostomatidae), with notes on Clostophis W. H. Benson, 1860 species from Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam

Description:

In this work, the hypselostomatid land snail genus Acinolaemus F.G. Thompson & Upatham, 1997 in Southeast Asia is revised. Characters based on which the genus was originally erected are thoroughly examined and evaluated. The genus is subdivided into six species groups based on similarities in shell surface sculpture and apertural barrier morphology. Four out of five species originally described in Acinolaemus, as well as species described from Vietnam and Cambodia are moved to Clostophis. Thirteen new species of Acinolaemus are described as follows: A. altus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. asper Gojšina, Tongkerd & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. atypicus Gojšina, Tongkerd & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. ferox Gojšina, Tongkerd & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. humilis Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. microcubus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. paucidentatus Gojšina, Tongkerd & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. profundus Gojšina, Auffenberg & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. rugolabialis Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. simplex Gojšina, Tongkerd & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. singularis Gojšina, Tongkerd & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. solitus Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov., A. zed Gojšina, Hunyadi & Páll-Gergely, sp. nov. Thus, the total number of Acinolaemus species increases to 19, all inhabiting Thailand and Myanmar.
