Abstract

The subgenus Simplicula Ponte-Lira & M. R. Alonso, 1997 in the genus Canariella P. Hesse, 1918 is elevated to the rank of a genus and seven new fossil taxa of the group are described from Pliocene and Pleistocene to Holocene deposits from the North of Lanzarote, La Graciosa, and the North, West and Northwest of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. Their relationship to other taxa of the family Canariellidae on the Canary Islands and in the West-Mediterranean region as well as with fossil species from continental Europe placed in the genus Canariella is discussed.

Some notes on the genus Schileykiella Manganelli, Sparacio & Fo. Giusti, 1989 (Gastropoda, Helicoidea: Canariellidae) from Tunisia and Libya

Basteria, 88 (1): 25-28Published:

Abstract

Building on the recent re-allocation of Helix sordulenta to the genus Schileykiella, this paper provides further insights into the taxonomy, palaeontology, and distribution of Schileykiella in North Africa. Additionally, the taxon Helix mendicaria L. Pfeiffer, 1860, described from Tunisia, is here proposed as a junior synonym of Schileykiella sordulenta (Morelet, 1851), and the taxon Xerophila chadiana darnensis Hey, 1955, described from Derna (Cyrenaica, Libya), is identified as a possible congeneric fossil species.

A review of the Diapheridae of the Philippines (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora: Streptaxoidea)

Abstract

While a few species of the genus Diaphera Albers, 1850 are reported in mainland Southeast Asia (Thailand, southern China, northern Vietnam, Myanmar), most species occur in the Philippines. In this paper we provide photographs of all Philippine species, and mostly based on the material of the Florida Museum of Natural History, we describe elevennew species and a subspecies as follows: Diaphera costatuba Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg, spec. nov., D. cyclostoma Páll- Gergely, spec. nov., D. gracilimajor Páll-Gergely, spec. nov., D. graciliminor Páll-Gergely, spec. nov., D. orca Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg, spec. nov., D. princessa Páll-Gergely, spec. nov., D. thompsoni Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg, spec. nov., D. tubella Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg, spec. nov., D. vespertilio Páll-Gergely, spec. nov., D. neolophia Páll-Gergely, spec. nov., D. bacillum Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg, spec. nov., D. hidalgoi skrik Páll-Gergely, subspec. nov. With this, the number of Diaphera species increases to 70, 52 of them inhabiting the Philippines. The juvenile apertural barriers are described for the first time in several species, which can be used to hypothesize about the evolutionary relationships of species and species groups within Diaphera. Biogeography of the genus is briefly discussed. The reproductive anatomy and radula morphology of four species are described. An epiphallus was found for the first time in the family Diapheridae.

The valid name for the common West-Indian Drymaeus species is D. elongatus (Röding, 1798), a nomen protectum (Gastropoda: Bulimulidae)

Basteria, 86 (2): 114-119Published:

Abstract

The names Helix elongata Röding, 1798 and Helix (Cochlogena) virgulata A. Férussac, 1821, both being used for the same Drymaeus species occurring on several West Indian islands, are analysed. It is concluded that, in contrast to the opinion of Breure (2022, Basteria, 86: 20-21), Helix elongata Röding is a nomen protectum, and that the name intro­duced by Férussac is a junior synonym. The correct name is Drymaeus elongatus (Röding, 1798); a lectotype is selected.

Description of a new Canariella P. Hesse, 1918 (Stylommatophora: Canariellidae) from the Quaternary of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Author: K. Groh
Basteria, 85 (2): 126-129Published:

Abstract

A new fossil species of the genus Canariella, C. gerti, clas­sified in the subgenus Majorata Alonso & Ibáñez, 2006, is described from Quaternary eolianites from the northwest­ern part of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. Its relationships to other taxa of the family occurring on the Canary Islands and especially on Fuerteventura are discussed.

A new Mediterranea species from a montane habitat in Turkey (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Oxychilidae)

Authors: A. Örstan, M.Z. Yıldırım
Basteria 84 (1-3): 61-64Published:

Abstract

A land snail extracted from rotting wood in a pine for­est at an altitude of 1350 m on the noncalcareous Sandras Mountain in western Turkey is described as a new species, Mediterranea xylocola Örstan spec. nov. Besides its unusual habitat, the new species is also characterized by its small shell (~4 mm in diameter) microsculptured with distinct spiral striae.
