Mollusca Gastropoda Chondrinidae Chondrininae Granariinae Abida Chondrina Rupestrella Granaria Solatopupa Granopupa taxonomy

Abstract

This contribution provides a revision of the stylommatophoran pulmonate family Chondrinidae. Based on newly acquired molecular as well as morphometric and distributional data on the Chondrinidae, some cryptic species were revealed. The following new taxa are formally described in this contribution: Abida secale vilellai, A. s. peteri, A. s. merijni, A. s. ionicae, Chondrina ingae, C. marjae, C. pseudavenacea and C. arigonoides. Some revisions in the currently accepted nomenclature of the Chondrinidae are also made and a new subfamily, Granariinae, is introduced. An annotated checklist is provided for the genus Rupestrella. The variation in shell morphology in Chondrina and the intraspecific variation in Abida secale are illustrated with 13 plates.
