ZooKeys 453: 1–17. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.453.8605 Abstract Two new species of the genus Zilchistrophia Weyrauch, 1960 are described from Eastern Ecuadorian rain forest: Zilchistrophia hilaryae sp. n. and Z. shiwiarorum sp. n. These two new species extend the distribu- tion of the genus considerably northwards, because congeners have been reported from Peru only. For the first time we present anatomical data (radula, buccal mass, morphology of the foot and the genital struc- ture) of Zilchistrophia species. According to these, the genus belongs to the family Scolodontidae, sub- family Scolodontinae (=“Systrophiini”). The previously assumed systematic relationship of Zilchistrophia with the Asian Corillidae and Plectopylidae based on the similarly looking palatal plicae is not supported.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Aquatic Commons Bull. Fish. Res. Stn., Ceylon. Vol. 20, No.2, ]Jp. 135-140, Dec0m6er, 1969 Soine Freshwater Mollusca fro1n Ceylon 'vith Notes on their Distribution and Biology By C. H. FEHNANDO INTRODUCTION Very few records of freshwater molluscs of Ceylon are available in recent publications and 'l>lthough they are of importance as food for fishes and vectors of parasites -vve know little of their role in these ca.pacities in Ceylon. The present paper is to be considered more as a pointer to the group than as a study of the freshwater molluscs of Ceylon. The author collected freshwater molhiscs during surveys made for the study of systematics and distribution of various freshwater invertebrates. Some of this material together with specimens collected by colleagues was sent to Dr. W. S. S. Van Benthem-.Jutting formerly of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. This material was thoroughly studied and identified by her. Also some material was sent to the late Dr. L. A. W. C. Vemnans of Leiden on whose clea,th the material was deposited in the Rijksmuseum, Leiden. The author was able to examine the records of this material identified by workers in Leiden. Material of freshwater molluscs purchased by the Museum in Leiden and labelled Ceylon was also seen by the author. I have made no Berious attempt to sort out synonomy. Dming the period 1952-1969 I have made ob::;ervations on the distribution 1:md abundance of freshwater molluscs in Ceylon. I have included some remarks ba,sed on these observations.

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity.

  • Darwin Landsnail Diversity Guides
    AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO THE LAND SNAILS OF THE WESTERN GHATS OF INDIA Exotic snails and slugs can be a serious problem because they are often difficult to control and can be locally about 35 Ma. The land-snail fauna of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka reflects this complex geological history. Gandhinagar Small-scale, casual collecting of empty snail shells is unlikely to have a harmful impact on the environment highly abundant. Many of this region's snail genera and most of the approximately 700 species are endemic to it, indicating that GUJARAT because it involves the removal of only tiny amounts of calcium carbonate from a few highly-localized places.

Several snail genera such as The collection and preservation of live snails is essential for serious and systematic scientific research, but Next to being asked how to kill garden snails, the question we are most often asked is 'what use are they'?

Abstract | During the study period, a total 1,632 snails belonging to eight species which act as intermediate host(s) of trematodes were collected by hand picking using the time-collection method from near watering points. Among them, 13.2% (216/1,632) snail samples were found to be infected with trematode larvae. Abundance of infected snails was higher in rainy season showing significant relationship with monthly temperature and monthly rainfall. Abundance of infected snails was higher in Taunggyi Township than in Ayetharyar Township.
