Abstract

Critical remarks are made on Drymaeus species, reported from Peru in a study on land snails from National Parks at the eastern side of the Andes. Four of these species (Dry­maeus multilineatus, D. coniformis, D. glaucostomus, all known from Venezuela or Central America, and D. geomet­ricus, known from Colombia) appear to be misidentified as Peruvian species, which thus may lead to incorrect biogeo­graphical interpretations. Correct identifications are given for all the disputed Drymaeus species. Bulimulus (Bulimu­lus) inconspicuus F. Haas, 1949, is now transferred to Dry­maeus (Mesembrinus). Additionaly, a new species, Drymae­us (Drymaeus) verecundus Breure & Mogollón, is described.

Abstract

The range of Albinaria latelamellaris Neubert, 2000 has been found to cover an area only about 10 hectares around its type locality in southwestern Turkey. A new subspe­cies, Albinaria latelamellaris kekovensis subspec. nov., is described from a disjunct population about 9 km away in the coastal Kekova region. The shells of the new subspecies differ from those of the nominal subspecies in their smaller dimensions and denser ribbing.
