The distribution of the five (Gastropoda, Truncatelloidea, Amnicolidae) species that are diagnosed by both morphological and molecular data is combined with several records of less completely diagnosed nominal species. The resulting distribution pattern is summarized in a map and is discussed herein. is described from Bhutan on the basis of shell morphology and two mitochondrial DNA barcoding markers. A molecular phylogeny is presented for the five species for which molecular data are available, three of which form a separate clade and are from Bhutan.

The genus Pseudamnicola Paulucci, 1878, is commonly found throughout the Mediterranean region. The genus displays considerable levels of endemism, accompanied by notable systematic and taxonomic ambiguity. However, the application of molecular data has proven highly effective in clarifying taxonomy and unveiling the diversity of cryptic species within the genus.

The shells were photographed and measured; shell biometry is illustrated with principal component analysis. Penes were illustrated and described.

The fifth mass extinction event (MEE) at the Cretaceous-Palaeogene (K-Pg) boundary 66 million years ago (Ma) led to massive species loss but also triggered the diversification of higher taxa. Five models have been proposed depending on whether this diversification occurred before, during or after the K-Pg boundary and the rate of species accumulation. While the effects of the K-Pg MEE on vertebrate evolution are relatively well understood, the impact on invertebrates, particularly in freshwater ecosystems, remains controversial.

Article Synopsis
- Extinction rates are rising, but conservation resources are limited, prompting a focus on prioritizing unique species for protection based on their evolutionary and ecological significance.* -
- Researchers analyzed historical DNA from an old specimen of the rare snail species Helicostoa sinensis, revealing its unique evolutionary traits and confirming its classification as an ultra-rare taxon within the Bithyniidae family.* -
- The study emphasizes the urgent need for conservation efforts that recognize and preserve the originality of invertebrate species, particularly in unique and extreme environments like river rapids.*
