This second and final part of a taxonomic treatment of hydrobiid snails of the Great Basin region in the western United States (based principally on material collected during a recently completed field survey) focuses on fauna other than the genus Pyrgulopsis. A new genus of small amnicoline snails, Colligyrus, is proposed for Hydrobia grcggi Pilsbry, 1935, together with a new species from the Harney Lake basin of Oregon. This group is strongly differentiated from other amnicolines by a unique…

Two new genera and four new species of freshwater cochliopid gastropods (Rissooidea) from northeastern Mexico

Each of the four new species of cochliopid snails from thermal springs in northeastern Mexico is endemic to highly disturbed single springs or local spring systems and may require protection.

Molecular phylogeny of the western North American pebblesnails, genus Fluminicola (Rissooidea: Lithoglyphidae), with description of a new species

The phylogenetic relationships of Fluminicola were evaluated using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence data from 22 of 24 previously described congeners, and a new congener (F. gustafsoni) that closely resembles F. virens morphologically was described, confirming that this genus is paraphyletic.

Assembly of a micro-hotspot of caenogastropod endemism in the southern Nevada desert, with a description of a new species of Tryonia (Truncatelloidea, Cochliopidae)

Blue Point Spring is identified as a new micro-hotspot of groundwater-dependent biodiversity in Nevada and will assist ongoing efforts to protect and conserve these imperiled ecosystems.

Phylogenetic relationships of the Cochliopinae (Rissooidea: Hydrobiidae): an enigmatic group of aquatic gastropods.

New anatomical evidence supports recognition of the cochliopine and Antroselates-Amnicola clades, and structure within the monophyletic group of coch Liopines is largely congruent with genitalic characters.

ORIGIN AND DIVERSIFICATION OF THE SOLDIER MEADOW SPRINGSNAILS ( HYDROBIIDAE : PTRGULOPSIS ) , A SPECIES FLOCK IN THE NORTHWESTERN GREAT BASIN , UNITED STATES ROBERT HERSHLER ^

A molecular phylogeny of a putative flock of four thermal spring-dwelling springsnails that is distributed in many sites in Soldier Meadow and a single locality in Bog Hot Valley is presented and a new species is described [P. varneri] for a series of recently discovered populations that are monophyletic, substantially divergent and morphologically distinctive.

A new species and range extensions for three other species of pebblesnails (Lithoglyphidae, Fluminicola) from the upper Klamath basin, California–Oregon

The taxonomic status of the currently undescribed pebblesnail fauna in the upper Klamath River drainage (UKL) is clarified based on morphologic evidence, and mitochondrial DNA sequence data from 58 UKL collection localities.

Origin and diversification of the soldier meadow springsnails (Hydrobiidae: Pyrgulopsis), a species flock in the northwestern Great Basin, United States

A molecular phylogeny of a putative flock of four thermal spring-dwelling springsnails that is distributed in many sites in Soldier Meadow and a single locality in Bog Hot Valley is presented and a new species is described (P. varneri) for a series of recently discovered populations that are monophyletic, substantially divergent and morphologically distinctive.

Taxonomic status of the Columbia duskysnail (Truncatelloidea, Amnicolidae, Colligyrus)

It is found that the Columbia duskysnail is not a monophyletic group and forms a strongly supported clade with Colligyrus greggi, and cannot be consistently differentiated by previously reported diagnostic characters and are closely similar in other aspects of morphology.

The conservation ecology of North American pleurocerid and hydrobiid gastropods

Several research avenues are suggested that are needed to maintain and restore pleurocerid and hydrobiid snail populations in North American freshwater mollusks.
