We describe a new land snail species of the family Camaenidae from the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex in the State of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia. Kenyirus sheema, sp. nov., is compared with its congener Kenyirus sodhii (Clements & Tan, 2012), which shares similar conchological characteristics such as a depressed apex, convex base, sub-triangular peristome, angulated lip periphery and partially-covered umbilicus through columellar margin dilation. The shell of the new species differs from K…

A new genus and species of camaenid snail (Mollusca: Pulmonata) from Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia

A new genus and species of land snail belonging to the family Camaenidae, named after Lake Kenyir, appears endemic to the forests adjacent to the lake, while this new species is named after the late Navjot Sodhi.

A NEW SUBSPECIES OF AMPHIDROMUS (AMPHIDROMUS) ATRICALLOSUS FROM SINGAPORE (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA: CAMAENIDAE).

Results of studies of A. atricallosus perakensis material from various localities in Peninsular Malaysia showed that the Singapore population is distinct, and results from earlier studies on molecular phylogeny and allozyme analyses suggest genetic discontinuity from other A.Atric allosus subspecies.

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE CAMAENIDAE (PULMONATA: STYLOMMATOPHORA: HELICOIDEA)

Evidence from this analysis demonstrated that the American component of the Camaenidae is closely related to the Hehcidae and Helminthoglyptidae, and the Australasian component is sister group to the Bradybaenidae.

Phylogenetic analysis of the Camaenidae (Mollusca: Stylommatophora) with special emphasis on the American taxa

A cladistic analysis support Camaenidae as a monophyletic family (synapomorphies: oval genital orifice, absence of penial sheath) and two of the three Australasian subfamilies, Sinumeloninae and Camaaninae, are monophylets in the strict consensus tree.

Evolutionary relationships among the Pulmonate land snails and slugs (Pulmonata, Stylommatophora)

Overall, the rDNA molecular phylogeny has remained stable following the incorporation of the additional taxa, with these additions having little impact on the major evolutionary patterns in the tree.

Beyond the prolegomenon: a molecular phylogeny of the Australian camaenid land snail radiation

A phylogenetic and biogeographically condign arrangement of camaenid land snails is provided as the basis for future elaborations, highlighting (1) the repeated radiation of shell forms, and (2) that the current higher taxonomy is unacceptable.

Biogeography of the Limacoidea sensu lato (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora): vicariance events and long‐distance dispersal

Aim Reconstruction of the historical biogeography of the Limacoidea sensu lato (including the Staffordiidae, Dyakiidae, Gastrodontoidea, Parmacelloidea, Zonitidae, Helicarionoidea and Limacoidea).…

Reservoirs of richness: least disturbed tropical forests are centres of undescribed species diversity

This study shows that even after 250 years of taxonomic classification, about 3050 amphibians and at least 160 land mammal species remain to be discovered and described and finds that tropical moist forests of the Neotropics, Afrotropics and Indomalaya probably harbour the greatest numbers of undescribed species.
