CAMAENID LAND SNAILS FROM WESTERN AND CENTRAL AUSTRALIA

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Introduction: This is the fifth report on the semi-arid zone dominant land snails of Western and central Australia, which belong to the Camaenidae, sensu lato. The review of 44 species level taxa, 32 of them new, and four new genera, is based upon study of 7,431 adult specimens, and completes the systematic description of taxa from the Kimberley and adjacent portions of the Northern Territory. Discussion of phylogeny must wait until several related taxa from the Red Centre have been monographed.
