A new troglobite species of Habeastrum Simone, 2019 from Brazil, and support for classification in Diplommatinidae (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda)
(2020-09-16) L. Simone, Luiz Ricardo; Caracanhas Cavallari, Daniel; Brincalepe Salvador, Rodrigo
he genus Habeastrum Simone, 2019 was recently described based on empty shells, counting with two troglobite species. Conchological features allowed a preliminary classification in the caenogastropod family Diplommatinidae, but this family allocation was left open to future studies. Herein, we present a detailed anatomical study of newly acquired specimens, confirming the classification in Diplommatinidae. These new specimens, from Minas Gerais state, SE Brazil, belong to a new troglobite species described herein, Habeastrum strangei sp. nov. The present records extend the genus distribution ca. 1,100 km east-northeast.

Taxonomic study on a collection of terrestrial and freshwater gastropods from caves in Bahia state, Brazil, with the description of a new species
(2023-03) Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Silva, Fernanda Santos; Bichuette, Maria Elina
Gastropod samples were collected during expeditions to caves in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, and are studied herein. Collection took place over the past five years, and gastropods were found in 14 caves distributed across six different municipalities: Campo Formoso, Carinhanha, Coribe, Feira da Mata, Central, and Ituaçu. A total of 19 species-level taxa of terrestrial and freshwater gastropods (representing 10 families) were collected, including representatives of the taxa Neritimorpha, Caenogastropoda, Hygrophila, and Stylommatophora. A new species is described herein: Helicina marfisae sp. nov. (Neritimorpha, Helicinidae).
