INTRODUCTION Les mollusques stygobies de la faune de Frauce appartiellllent à deux familles, les Moitessieriidae BOURGUIGNAT, 1863 et les Hydrobiidae TROSCHEL, 1857, dont les limites sont encore mal cernées et qui font l'objet d'interprétations différeutes voire divergeutes selou les auteurs (voir par exemple Boeters 1998, Boeters 2003 et Wilke el al. 2001). Plus de 70 taxons sont présents en France contiuentales dont plus de la moitié a été décrite au cours des trente demières années. On notera également que près d'une vingtaine des espèces attribuées à l'une ou l'autre de ces deux familles n'ont jamais encore été récoltées vivantes et il convient de ne pas exclure qu'ils s'agissent de formes fossiles. Si les Pyrénées et surtout la bordure snd et sud-est du Massif Central coustituent les principaux centres de spéciation pour ces\espèces, toutes les régions karstiques de France abritent une ou quelques espèces. Les Causses du centre et de l'ouest du Massif Central ont fait l'objet de peu de recherches et seules quelques rares espèces y sont mentionnées: Moifessieria rolandiana BOURGUIGNAT, 1863, M. simoniana (SAINT-SIMON, 1848) et ls/amia? moquiniana (Dupuy, 1851); ce denlÎer nom regroupe plusieurs plusieurs formes dont la signification biologique reste à préciser. Les mentions du Lot de Paladilhia plellrolollla BOURGUIGNAT, 1865 et de Palacanthiliospsis vervieri BERNASCONl 1988, tout connne celles de Herallitiella exilis (PALADILHE, 1867) (Bertrand 1999 et R. Bernasconi in litt.) de l'Aveyron, si l'on est bien certain de l'identification des spécimens, pourrait être le résulats de pollution des échantillons avec du matériel provenant d'autres stations; ce type de désagréments est difficile à éliminer totalement lorsque l'on utilise du matériel come la pompe Bou-Rouch ou des filets de phréatobiologiqnes. Les récentes recherches, bien que peu développées au regard de la taille des régions karstiques concenlées (des grands Causses aveyrOlUlais et lozériens à ceux du Quercy) ont pennis de collecter du matériel plus ou moins abondant, et une nouvelle espèce attribuée provisoirement au genre Paladilhia BOURGUIGNAT, 1865 est décrite. PALADILHIA JAMBLVSSENSIS ESPECE NOUVELLE. MATERIEL TYPE - Holotype: Col. Laboratoire de Moulis, Grotte de Jamblusse, Saillac Tam-et­ GarOlme, 27.01.1985, B. Lebreton leg. exemplaire métallisé.

(28 adultes + 1 juvénile) Col. A. Bertrand, Résurgence de Crégols, 4-10-2003 ; avec P. jamblussensis, ont été récoltées à Crégols les espèces suivantes: Moifessieria rolandiana (BOURGUIGNAT 1863), Bylhinella cf. elllrepha (PALADILHE 1867) et lslalllia sp ; aucune autre espèce ne m'a été conununiquée de la grotte de Jamblusse. DIAGNOSE - (voir figure 1) Coquille conique, 5 y, - 6 Y, tours séparés par une suture profonde; hauteur: 2,4 - 3,6 ll1Il1 ; diamètre: 1,4 - 1,7 mm ; dernier tour: 45 - 55 % de la hauteur totale; spire à sonunet obtu. Ouverture large, plus ou moins pyrifonne, auriculée, à labre sinué, la base nettement projetée vers l'avant. Protoconche lisse avec des striations spirales recoupant des stries transverses © 2003 Etl/de et Conservation des Mollusques COlltinentallx .BertralUl, A. présentes sur toute la coquille (fig. 1 B et H) parfois très atténuées ou absenle (fig. 1G) ; les stries spirales sont au nombre de 10-12 par nuu. La coquille est vitreuse translucide fragile devenant opaque. Description de l'Holotype - Identique à la diagnose de l'espèce, mais hauteur = 2,8 nun et diamètre = 1,4 mm. ANAT01\fiE - Inconnue. OPERCULE - IncolUlU. ETYMOLOGIE - de Jamblusse, localilé de récolte de l'holotype située dans le Tam-el-GarolUle. Bien que cette espèce n'ait pas été récoltée vivante, il est probable qu'il ne s'agisse pas d'une espèce fossile; en effet bon nombre des coquilles étudiées sont translucides et semblent correspondre à des spécimens vivants peu de temps avant la récolte. L'appartenance de P. jamblussensis au genre Paladilhia, comme il a été dit plus haut, reste à confinuer par l'étude de spécimens vivants. Trois genres sont conchyliologiquement proche de J'espèce décrite: Paladilhia, Palacanlhi/iopsis BERNASCONI, 1988 et Palaopselllll BOETERS, 1999. Selon Boeters (1998 et 2003) Paladi/hia et Palaopselllll appartielUlent à la famille des Moitessieriidae et Palacanlhi/iopsis à la famille des Hydrobiidae. Les stries spirales présentes chez P. jamblussenis ne semblent jamais avoir été observées chez les autres espèces du genre Paladilhia. Par contre, elles sont présentes chez Palacantilhiopsis. Bernasconi (1988) base en outre sa description du genre sur l'anatomie des spécimens éhldiés, ainsi que sur la présence d'un crochet caractéristique sur la face interne de l'opercule. Boeters (1999), différencie le genre Palaospelllll - qu'il a créé pour l'espèce du Pays-Basqne français, P. bessoni (BERNASCONI 1999), que Bemasconi avait attribué au genre Paladi/hia - sur les caractères suivants: 1 - biogéographiques (le genre Paladi/Ma esl localisé au bas bassin de Rhône et à ceux des petits fleuves côtiers, Vidourle et Lez) ; 2 - conchyliologiques, la coquille de Paladi/hia a des tours plus convexes et l'ouverture est plus nettement sinuée ; 3 - anatomique avec notamment la présence d'un tentacule paléal chez Paladi/hia absnet chez Palaospelllll (pour une vision plus large du genre Paladi/hia voir également Bodon et Giusti 1991, Boeters 1971, Boeters et Falkner 2003).

The system, developed in massive Mesozoic limestone, has two distinct resur- gences. Despite relatively limited sampling, its subterranean fauna is rich, composed of a number of local endemics, terrestrial as well as aquatic, including two remarkable relictual species, Arbasus cae- cus (Simon, 1911) and Tritomurus falcifer Cassagnau, 1958. With 38 stygobiotic and troglobiotic species recorded so far, the Coume Ouarnède system is the second richest subterranean hotspot in France and the first one in Pyrenees. This species richness is, however, expected to increase because several taxonomic groups, like Ostracoda, as well as important subterranean habitats, like MSS (“Milieu Souterrain Superficiel”), have not been considered so far in inventories. Similar levels of subterranean biodiversity are expected to occur in less-sampled karsts of central and western Pyrenees.

Three main approaches to delineation of species boundaries (intuitive, conceptual, and operational) are discussed, with remarks on their practical usage in freshwater malacology. The central topic of the article is how malacologists changed their views on the essence of species category and the impact of these changes on the taxonomic practice. The opinions of some prominent and prolific workers in the field (Bourguignat, Kobelt, Hubendick, Starobogatov) are analysed as well as the debates around the theoretical foundations and practical results of the ‘Nouvelle École’ of the 19th century and the ‘comparatory’ systematics of the 20th century.

Molecular studies on their relationships confirmed the distinctness of this family. Their monophyly, however, remained doubtful, since the Moitessieriidae did not form a distinct clade in the phylogenetic tree based on the most commonly applied mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), and the representative of the family Cochliopidae occupied a position among the moitessieriid clades. In the present paper two new nuclear loci, namely histone H3 gene and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ITS2, have been applied to resolve the status of the Moitessieriidae.

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with phylogenetic relationships of recently described Montenegrospeum bogici Pešić et Glöer, 2012 from central Bosnia. The female reproductive system was found to bear two receptacula seminis. Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I and nuclear 18S rRNA gene partial sequences were used for the maximum likelihood phylogenetic inference. Morphological and molecular data are congruent: Montenegrospeum does not belong to the Moitessieriidae, and is phylogenetically remote from Bythiospeum; it belongs to the Hydrobiidae, subfamily Sadlerianinae, and its sister taxon is Dalmatinella Radoman, 1973 (bootstrap support 87%).

These include shell macrocharacters, protoconch sculpture, soft part morphol- ogy and pigmentation, radulae, stomach, female reproductive organs, male reproductive organs. Based on partial sequences of the ribosomal 18S RNA gene, a molecular phylogeny is presented for all the genera, and based on fragments of CO1 gene in mitochondrial DNA, for all except six genera. Based on the Adams con- sensus tree the two gene phylogenies are summarised and systematics of the group is proposed. Adrioinsulana is considered a junior synonym of Pseudamnicola; Parabythinella a junior synonym of Marstoniopsis; a new name: Radomaniola n. gen. is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied

Two new genera and three new discovered in the karstic of north of the species systems eastern Sardinia, Gennargentu massif are described: Sardohoratia Sardopaladilhianov. gen., Sardopaladilhiaplagigeyerica nov. spec., Sardohoratia sulcata and Sardohoratia islamioides Like other nov. gen., nov. spec., nov. spec. many of and Sardohoratia have mosaics of ofwhich genera hydrobiids, Sardopaladilhia characters, some are shared with other groups of hydrobiids. Based on the number of characters shared, the closest is Paladilhia and that closest genus to Sardopaladilhia Bourguignat, 1865, to Sardohoratia is Horatia Bourguignat, 1887. Sardopaladilhia differs from Paladilhia in a number of important the most evident ofwhich is the at the of the Sardohoratia characters, peculiar stylet apex penis. differs from Horatia by virtue of the penis without lateral lobe. The two species of Sardohoratia are easily distinguished from each other. They have quite different shell shapes and some anatomical differences; their coexistence in the same karstic systems and the absence of intermediate specimens supports distinct specific status.
