STURANY (Wien) und D^- A. J. WAGNER (Diemlach) Mit 18 Tafeln und 1 Karte VORGELEGT IN DER SITZUNG AM 7. MAI 1914 Die Anregung zu der vorliegenden Arbeit war durch ein reichhaltiges Material gegeben, welches sich im Besitze des k. k. Naturhistorischen Hofmuseums befindet und in erster Linie dem Naturwissen- schaftlichen Orientverein in Wien zu danken ist. Der genannte Verein hat im Jahre 1905 eine zoologische Reise subventioniert, welche Sturany^ in das Miriditengebiet ausführte, und ein Jahr später — ebenfalls zu zoologischen Studien — die Herren V. Apfelbeck und Dr. Karl Gf. Attems in das Gebiet des Schar Dagh entsendet. Von diesen beiden Reisen nun, über deren Verlauf im XI. und XII. Jahresbericht des Naturwissen- schaftlichen Orientvereins ausführliche Mitteilungen enthalten sind, stammt die Mehrzahl der hier testa- ceologisch und — wenn inögiich — auch anatomisch behandelten Mollusken, während sich der Rest auf kleinere, doch nicht weniger wichtige Aufsammlungen früheren oder späteren Datums verteilt, die u. a. gemacht wurden: von Prof. Dr. H. Rebel 1896 und 1902 und von J. Haberhauer 1899 in der Gegend von Slivno in Bulgarien, von L. Buljubasic 1904 und 1905 im Koritni'kgebirge, in den Bergen bei Oroshi und um Skutari, von A.

Simple Summary: The superfamily Helicoidea is a large and diverse group of Eupulmonata. The su- perfamily has been the subject of several molecular and phylogenetic studies which greatly improved our knowledge on the evolutionary relationships and historical biogeography of many families. In contrast, the available karyological information on Helicoidea still results in an obscure general picture, lacking a homogeneous methodological approach and a consistent taxonomic record. Never- theless, the available karyological information highlights the occurrence of a significant chromosomal diversity in the superfamily in terms of chromosome number (varying from 2n = 40 to 2n = 62), Citation: Petraccioli, A.; Crovato, P.; chromosome morphology and the distribution of different karyological features among different Guarino, F.M.; Mezzasalma, M.; taxonomic groups.

An Annotated List of the Non-Marine Mollusca of Britain and Ireland
JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY (2005), VOL.38, NO .6 607 AN ANNOTATED LIST OF THE NON-MARINE MOLLUSCA OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND ROY ANDERSON1 Abstract An updated nomenclatural list of the non-marine Mollusca of the Britain and Ireland is provided. This updates all previous lists and revises nomenclature and classification in the context of recent changes and of new European lists, including the Clecom List. Cases are made for the usage of names in the List by means of annotations. The List will provide a basis for the future census and cataloguing of the fauna of Britain and Ireland. Key words Taxonomic, list, nomenclature, non-marine, Mollusca, Britain, Ireland, annotated. INTRODUCTION There has been a need for some time to modernise the list of non-marine Mollusca for Britain and Ireland, a subject last visited in this journal in 1976 (Waldén 1976; Kerney 1976). Many of the changes that have appeared in the literature since then are contentious and Kerney (1999) chose not to incorporate many of these into the latest atlas of non-marine Mollusca of Britain and Ireland. A new European List, the Clecom List (Falkner et al. 2001) has now appeared and it seems appropriate to examine in more detail constituent changes which might affect the British and Irish faunas. This is given additional urgency by the inception of a new census of the molluscs of Britain and Ireland by the Conchological Society. Recorders in the Society are aware of many of the proposed changes but unable to implement them without general agreement. In addition, many field malacologists make use of the recording package RECORDER, a recent form of which has been developed jointly by JNCC and the National Biodiversity Network in the United Kingdom. -
Conical Or Pointed Snail Cochlicella Acuta Click for Html Version
Conical or pointed snail Cochlicella acuta click for html version Summary: Conical or pointed snails have rarely been recorded feeding on crops or pasture, preferring dead organic matter as a food source. However, they are a contaminant of grain, particularly barley. During summer they can be found under stones and stumps, and on posts and vegetation, in cereal stubble and at the base of plants in the ground. Snail numbers can build up in the pasture phase of cropping rotations. Occurrence: An introduced snail of European origin, the conical or pointed snail is found in the highest numbers on Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Isolated populations are also found in coastal areas of SA, New South Wales and Western Australia as well inland areas of Victoria. This species of snail is particularly favoured by calcareous and highly alkaline soils, retained stubble and no tillage. Moist seasonal conditions may also favour conical snails. Description: Conical or pointed snails are fawn, grey or brown in colour. Mature snails have a shell length of up to 18mm with the ratio of shell length to its diameter is always >2. Distinguishing characteristics/description of the conical or pointed snail (right) compared with the small pointed snail (left) (Source: Bellati et al. 2012) Lifecycle and behaviour: The life cycle of snails is extremely dependent on and linked to behaviour and these should not be considered separately. Conical snails are hermaphrodites, thus each snail has both male and female reproductive organs. This gives every snail the potential to lay eggs after mating. Under optimal environmental conditions and food availability each snail is capable of laying hundreds of eggs each season. -
Diversity and Ecology of the Land Snails of the Palestinian Territories of the West Bank

Najajrehb, Mubarak Zawahrahc, Eike Neubertd, Elias N. Handalb, Mohamad A. Abu Bakere and Mazin B. Qumsiyehb aDepartment of Biology, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan; bPalestine Museum of Natural History, Bethlehem University, Bethlehem, Palestine; cEnvironmental Quality Authority, Ramallah, Palestine; dNatural History Museum of the Burgergemeinde Bern, Bern, Switzerland; eEnvironmental Management and Telematics Consulting, Amman, Jordan ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY The diversity of the terrestrial snails of the Palestinian Territories was presented with a total of 42 Received 16 August 2017 species in 26 genera representing 15 families. Families Enidae and Hygromiidae had the highest Accepted 15 December 2017 number of species, while eight families were represented by only a single species. Species KEYWORDS association was analyzed, and the biogeographical affinities of the snail fauna were discussed. Land snails; biodiversity; The Mediterranean zone had the highest number of land snail species (33), followed by the biogeography; Palestine Irano-Turanian zone (20 species) while the Saharo-Arabian zone had the lowest number (14). Species incidence suggested that most species had restricted distributions and were recorded in relatively few sites (less than 25). Nineteen species occurred in 10 or fewer sites, 9 species in 11–25 sites, and only 10 species may be considered wide-ranging as they were recorded in 25–65 sites. The terrestrial malacofauna of central Palestine consists of several origins: endemic, regionally endemic, Levant, Circum-Mediterranean, and Western Palearctic.
