However, their systematic study has been greatly complicated by pronounced conchological variability. Almost 1,000 taxa have been described north of Mexico, although this inflated estimate has been reduced by serial synonymization to 152 or 153 nominal species, comprising seven genera. Pleurocerid diversity is not evenly spread across continental watersheds. Only nine nominal… Expand
