Krishi Mandi, New Palsi Road, Jodhpur-342 005, Rajasthan, India INTRODUctION More than 1500 species of land mollusc are recorded from India. Out of these, twelve species viz. Achatina fulica Bowdich, Ariophanla bajadera (Pfeiffer), Ariophanta ligulata Ferrussac, Ariophanta solata (Benson), Bensonia monticola Hutton, Cryptozona belangiri Deshayes, Cryptozona (Nilgiria) semiru~ata (Seck.), Cryptozona (Xestina) bistrialis Beck., Macrochlamys indica (Godwin-Austen), Opeas gracile (Hutton), Zootecus insularis (Ehrenberg) and Mariaella dussumieri (Gray) are known to cause damage to agricultural, horticultural and plantation crops in India (Raut & Ghosh, 1984; Srivastava, 1992 and Subba Rao, 1975). So far, only two pestiferous land moliusc Opeas gracile (Hutton) and Zootecus insularis (Ehrenberg) are reported from Rajasthan (Subba Rao & Mitra, 1979 and Raut & Ghosh, 1984). Laevicaulis alte (Ferussac) is reported from Udaipur, Rajasthan but not as a pest (Ray & Mukherjee, 1963). The present paper reports for the first time, two more pestiferous land mollusc - Laevicaulis alte (Ferussac) and Macrochlamys indica (Godwin-Austen), as severe pests of neem seedlings in forest nurseries of Rajasthan along with new distributional records.

  • Study of Snail, Macrochlamys Indica and Slug, Filicaulis Alte in Relation To
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Study of Snail, Macrochlamys indica and slug, Filicaulis alte in relation to damage inflicted by them in different Ornamental Plant Nurseries near Buddha Nullah, Ludhiana. Manpreet Kaur and B.K. Babbar Department of Zoology, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana-141004 (Punjab), INDIA ABSTRACT From the present study it is concluded slug, Filicaulis alte and Macrochlamys indica was found in all the four plant nurseries namely PAU Plant nursery, Prabhakar nursery, Laxmi nursery and Tulsigaurd nursery. Thesegastropods carved irregular holes within the leaves of different plants from the month of April till October but no damage was recorded from November to February as animals were in hibernation. Maximum mean percent plants affected by gastropods was recorded in the month of August in all plant nurseries, when the population density of gastropods was maximum.So maximum damage was recorded in the month of August. Key words: Filicaulis alte, Macrochlamys indica, Nurseries, Plants Land Snail, Pulmonate molluscs are the members of the molluscan class, Gastropod, which have a coiled shell on their back into which they retract themselves unlike the slugs which lack shell. These terrestrial molluscs are destructive agricultural pests causing economic damage to field crops, vegetables, fruits trees and ornamental plants (Barker 2002). Snails and slugs are important components of detritivorous and herbivorous fauna in most of the ecosystems (Russell-Hunter 1983). Damage caused by them to ornamental plants in the field, nursery or greenhouse has been a perennial problem. They are gregariousfeeders that are active at night on cloudy days and causes damage.

The mitotic and meiotic chro- mosome preparations were carried out by directly taking samples from the ovotestis. Conventional and Ag-NOR staining techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results showed that the diploid chromosome number of S. resplendens is 2n=66 and the fundamental number (NF) is 132. The karyotype has the presence of six large metacentric, two large submetacentric, 26 medium metacentric, and 32 small metacentric chromosomes. After using the Ag-NOR banding technique, one pair of nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) was observed on the long arm subtelomeric region of chromosome pair 11. We found that during metaphase I, the homologous chromosomes show synapsis, which can be defined as the formation of 33 ring bivalents, and 33 haploid chromosomes at metaphase II as diploid species.

  • Molluscan Biodiversity and Its Seasonal Fluctuations in Teekar Taal, Haryana, India
    [Wats et. al., Vol.7 (Iss.1): January 2019] ISSN- 2350-0530(O), ISSN- 2394-3629(P) DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2550236 Science MOLLUSCAN BIODIVERSITY AND ITS SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS IN TEEKAR TAAL, HARYANA, INDIA Ravinder Kumar 1, Maansi 1, Meenu Wats *1 *1 Post Graduate Department of Zoology D.A.V. College Sector-10 Chandigarh, Panjab University, India Abstract Freshwater molluscs are the integral part of every aquatic ecosystem and help not only in the ecosystem’s functioning but also enable the ecologists to judge the health of their abode. These shelled animals are used as the best biomonitoring tools worldwide. Gradually declining water quality of freshwater bodies owing to multiple factors, their biodiversity is also facing threat. Majority of the freshwater bodies near human vicinities are facing anthropogenic interventions, habitat destructions and overexploitation and the same is being reflected by the elimination of sensitive molluscan species and survival as well as abundance of other tolerant ones. The current study has been undertaken to understand the Malacofauna biodiversity in Morni hills, Panchkula, Haryana. During the study, total 359 gastropods both aquatic and land snails were collected. Pre- monsoon season witnessed greater molluscan abundance, 8.46 times, than post-monsoon. The molluscan biodiversity, 7 species, 7 Genera and 5 families, namely Filopaludina bengalensis, Melanoides tuberculata, Radix luteola, Gyraulus ladacensis, Indoplanorbis exustus, Ariophanta interrupta and Macrochlamys indica.Shannon-Weiner Index (H) and Simpson Diversity Index (D) for both seasons indicated higher species diversity during post monsoon season. Melanoides tuberculata was found to be dominant during pre-monsoon while Filopaludina bengalensis during post monsoon season.

Revynthi, Entomologist/Acarologist – Ornamental Crops, UF/IFAS TREC; Daniel Carrillo, Entomologist – Tropical Fruit Crops, UF/IFAS TREC; Dak Seal, Entomologist – Vegetable Crops, UF/IFAS TREC; Vanessa Campoverde, Commercial Agriculture/Ornamentals Extension Agent, UF/IFAS Extension Miami-Dade County The horntail snail (Macrochlamys indica Benson) was recently detected in Miami-Dade County. This snail is considered of quarantine importance in the United States because it can potentially host parasitic nematodes of medical importance and become an agricultural pest (Grewal et al. 2003; Cowie et al. 2009; Jayashankar and Murthy 2015). A program to survey, control, and eradicate the horntail snail has been implemented by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). This document attempts to compile the available literature on the horntail snail. It belongs to the genus Macrochlamys (family Ariopphantidae), which has over a hundred described species distributed from South to Southeast Asia and southern China (Pholyotha et al. 2018). It occurs in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Europe and Brazil (Raut and Ghose 1984; Biswas et al. 2015; Jayashankar et al. 2015; Agudo-Padron 2018). In Bangalore, India, populations are higher in urban settings than in agricultural areas (Jayashankar et al. 2015). Information regarding the pest and vector status of the horntail snail in those areas is scarce.

  • Final Report
    SPECIES DIVERSIFICATION IN A TROPICAL RAINFOREST LAND-SNAIL FAUNA Final Report DINARZARDE RAHEEM BELSPO Research Fellow (Non-EU Postdoc) Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Vautierstraat 29, B-1000, Brussels 1. BACKGROUND Terrestrial biological diversity is not distributed evenly across the globe, but is concentrated in the forested tropics (Myers et al., 2000; Sechrest et al., 2002; Mittermeier et al., 2004). Our understanding of the evolutionary processes that have generated and maintained this diversity is poor, but such knowledge will be vital for conserving both the patterns and processes of diversity in the face of ongoing and future environmental change (Mace et al., 2003; Moritz & McDonald, 2005). Using land snails as a focal group and an approach centred on molecular systematics and community ecology, my 18-month fellowship aimed to investigate speciation and ecological diversification in two Sri Lankan rainforest snail genera, the pulmonate Corilla and the caenogastropod Theobaldius. In common with other taxa from other tropical rainforest regions (Moritz, et al., 2000; Hall, 2005; Weir, 2006; Brumfield & Edwards, 2007; Elias et al., 2009; Santos et al., 2009), Corilla and Theobaldius are represented by distinct species assemblages in lowland and montane rainforest. The study had two broad objectives: first, to reconstruct the evolution of these distinct lowland and montane assemblages, and second, to explore the relationship between species diversification and niche evolution. Work to date has been focussed on carrying out molecular and initial phylogenetic analyses on the two land-snail genera, Corilla and Theobaldius. In addition, I have been working on a major new taxonomic revision (Raheem et al., in press) on the land-snail fauna of the Western Ghats of India, as well two smaller related projects, one on the widespread Asian land snail Macrochlamys, and the other on the type collections of William Benson, the pioneering 19th century worker on Indian land snails.

Snails belong to a large and highly diverse group of invertebrates known as the phylum - A Prasad Mollusca, class - Gastropoda and order - Stylommatophora. Snails are the obligatory Division of Veterinary Parasitology, FVSc & AH, intermediate hosts of digenetic trematodes and also obligatory in the life cycle of some SKUAST-K, Shuhama Alusteng, nematodes. The presence of susceptible snail host is a primary requirement for the Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir perpetuation of snail borne infections. In order to evolve a long term strategic control measures India against snail-borne parasitic diseases, it is necessary to know the distribution pattern of snail vectors.
