This paper shows a list of South American species based on literature revision and personal observations about systematic and morphology as well as some morphological, biological, ecological and paleontological data. Seven genera and at least thirteen good species are found: Anisancylus dutrae (Santos, 1994); Anisancylus obliquus (Broderip & Sowerby, 1832); Burnupia ingae Lanzer, 1991; Burnupia sp.; Ferrissia gentilis Lanzer, 1991; Ferrissia sp.; Gundlachia bakeri Pilsbry, 1913; Gundlachia radiata (Guilding, 1828); Gundlachia ticaga (Marcus & Marcus, 1962); Hebetancylus moricandi (d¿Orbigny, 1837); Laevapex sp.; Uncancylus concentricus (d´Orbigny, 1835) and Uncancylus crequii (Bavay, 1904). Gundlachia leucaspis (Ancey, 1901); Gundlachia lutzi Walker, 1925; Gundlachia saulcyana (Bourguignat, 1853); Hebetancylus philippianus (Biese, 1948); Laevapex vazi Santos, 1989; Uncancylus foncki (Philippi, 1866) and Uncancylus patagonicus (Biese, 1948) need to be revised. Anatomical data show that SouthAmericanancylids are not closed related to Ancylus fluviatilis Müller, 1774. It is necessary to improve the knowledgement specially about morphology, biology, geographical distribution and genetics in order to assess the true systematic position ofthe called neotropical genera (Anisancylus Pilsbry, 1924; Gundlachia Pfeiffer, 1849; Hebetancylus Pilsbry, 1913 and Uncancylus Pilsbry, 1913) and also Burnupia Walker, 1912 and Ferrissia Walker, 1903.

Adult and juveniles specimens of this freshwater limpet were collected in In the present paper we report for the first time the presence of point of occurrence of G. radiata in South America. As a result, the distributional range of this species is increased and the two temporary water bodies. This record represents the first report of this species in Argentina but also is the southernmost species richness of Ancylidae in Argentina is incremented to a total of seven species classified in four genera. The Ancylidae sensu latum are freshwater pulmonate snails, characterized by a pateliform shell. Ancylidae are cosmopolitan, and according to Santos (2003) there are seven genera in South America: Anisancylus Pilsbry, 1924; Gundlachia Pfeiffer, 1849; Hebetancylus Pilsbry, 1913; Uncancylus Pilsbry, 1913; Burnupia Walker, 1912; Ferrissia Walker, 1913 and Laevapex Walker, 1903.

Corregido 14-II-2007. Aceptado 27-VII-2007. Abstract: Latin American Malacology. Freshwater Mollusks from Argentina. A report and an updated list with comments on the species of freshwater molluscs of Argentina which covers an area of 2 777 815 km2 is presented. Distributions of Gastropoda and Bivalvia families, endemic, exotic, invasive as well as entities of sanitary importance are also studied and recommendations on their conservation are provided. Molluscs related to the Del Plata Basin have been thoroughly studied in comparison to others areas of the country. This fauna exhibits relatively the biggest specific richness and keeps its affinity with the fauna of other regions of the basin in areas of Paraguay and Brasil. The 4 500 records of molluscs considered in this paper arise from the study of the collections of Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires; Museo de La Plata, La Plata and Fundación “Miguel Lillo”, Tucumán. These institutions keep very important collections of molluscs in southern South America. Field information has recently been obtained and localities cited by other authors are also included in the data base. Until today, 166 species have been described, 101 belonging to 10 families of Gastropoda and 65 to 7 of Bivalvia.

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.

Stephen, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, 2018 Co–Advisers: Patricia W. Freeman, Craig R. Allen I explore the historical and current distribution of freshwater snails in Nebraska and South Dakota. Current knowledge of the distribution of species of freshwater gastropods in the prairie states of South Dakota and Nebraska is sparse with no recent comprehensive studies. Historical surveys of gastropods in this region were conducted in the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and most current studies that include gastropods do not identify individuals to species.

    MALACOLOGIA, 2006, 49(1): 189−208 FRESHWATER GASTROPODA FROM ARGENTINA: SPECIES RICHNESS, DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS, AND AN EVALUATION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES Alejandra Rumi1*, Diego E. Gutiérrez Gregoric1, Verónica Núñez1, Inés I. César2, M. Andrea Roche3, Mónica P. Tassara3, Stella M. Martín2 & M. Fernanda López Armengol1 ABSTRACT Few studies have dealt with the geographic distribution of freshwater snails in Argentina. The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine species and family richness and diver- sity patterns; (2) verify if species richness behaves according to Rapoport’s rule; (3) iden- tify and classify species according to their distributions; and (4) identify endangered spe- cies. A grid was applied to a map of Argentina, with each of 340 squares (SUs) represent- ing 10,000 km2. A database of 3,376 records was analyzed. Of the 101 species belonging to ten families recorded in Argentina, four are introduced and 40 are endemic to Argentina. The Lithoglyphidae have the highest number of species (22). The highest species rich- ness/SU was recorded in the Brazilic subregion at Salto Grande (32 species) on Uruguay River, and parts of the Río de la Plata (31). In this subregion the species richness values increase from west to east. The highest richness in the Chilean-Patagonian subregion was detected at San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro province (9), and the Chilinidae contained the largest number of species. In Argentina, the north-south decline species pattern could be explained through Rapoport’s rule. In Patagonia, the species richness gradients do not show significant west-east trends. Most of the native species of freshwater molluscs of restricted distribution can be considered endangered (about 45 species) but need further study.
