AI Article Synopsis
- The Bornean representatives of the Hydrocenidae genus feature small, right-handed, conical shells with about three whorls.
- A recent study highlighted significant variation in the "scaly" group, leading to this follow-up on "non-scaly" species, which also show diverse shell patterns.
- Detailed assessments and molecular analysis helped identify 16 "non-scaly" species, three of which are newly recognized.
Article Abstract
The Bornean representatives of the genus (Hydrocenidae) have small, dextral, conical, calcareous shells consisting of ca. three teleoconch whorls. Our recent study on the of Malaysian Borneo has revealed high intra- and inter-specific variation in the "scaly" group (a group of species with striking scale-like surface sculpture). The present study on the "non-scaly" is the continuation of the species revision for the genus. The "non-scaly" species are also diverse in shell sculptures. This informal group comprises with subtle spiral and/or radial sculpture. The combination of detailed conchological assessment and molecular analyses provides clear distinctions for each of the species. Conchological, molecular, and biogeographic details are presented for 16 species of "non-scaly" . Three of these are new to science, namely , , and

Based on molecular and conchological features, a new genus, Bouchetaria, is proposed for the Cypraeidae species Nesiocypraea aenigma Lorenz 2002. Molecular analysis of cox1 and 16S genes places Bouchetaria within a monophyletic group-composed of the genera Propustularia, Nesiocypraea, Ipsa, Perisserosa, Cryptocypraea, and Nucleolaria-appearing as the sister group to all other living Cypraeidae. This group corresponds to the Erosariinae (sensu Lorenz & Hubert, 1993).

The monospecific genus was described in the year 2021 including a single species (). However, its description relied solely on morphological and anatomical data. In the present work, we use a fraction of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) and the nuclear large ribosomal subunit (LSU) to clarify its validity through phylogenetic positioning.

This paper reassesses the taxonomy and systematics of 11 arboreal snail species in the genus from Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos ( Wang, 2019, Fruhstorfer, 1905, Smith, 1893, Möllendorff, 1898, Möllendorff, 1900, Thach, 2020, Möllendorff, 1900, Thach, 2020, Möllendorff, 1900, Fulton, 1896, and Huber, 2015). The taxonomic validity of each species is supported by a phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial COI and 16S rRNA gene fragments from 17 ingroup taxa. was found to comprise two populations from two distant localities, one from Mount Singgalang, West Sumatra, Indonesia and the other from southern Vietnam.

Purpose: Accurate identification of medically important intermediate host and vector species is crucial for understanding disease transmission and control. Identifying Bulinus snails which act as intermediate host species for the transmission of schistosomiasis is typically undertaken using conchological and genital morphology as well as molecular methods.
Methods: Here, a landmark-based morphometric analysis of shell morphology was undertaken to determine its utility to distinguish the closely related and morphologically similar sister species Bulinus senegalensis and Bulinus forskalii.
