Taxonavigation

Ordo: Pulmonata
Familia: Bothriembryontidae
Genus: Plectostylus

Name

Plectostylus elegans (Pfeiffer, 1842) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Material examined

Barranquilla beach (27°21'29"S, 70°20'24"W), Commune of Caldera, RCG (unnumbered), 5 specimens. Aguas verdes (26°52'S, 70°48'W), Commune of Caldera, 3 specimens. MZUC 39619 (lot).

Diagnosis

Shells thin, elongate-globose, with convex and slightly shouldered whorls, decorated with axial greyish, and brownish-reddish, streaks. Last whorl very ample, lip simple, periostracum shiny and transparent.

Distribution and remarks

Huasco (28°20'S, 71°15'W) (Valdovinos and Stuardo 1988[5]). The specimens here studied constitute the northernmost record for this species. Breure and Ablett (2012)[8] synonymized this species as Plectostylus broderipii. However, the shells here examined were much lighter, thinner and broader than Plectostylus broderipii. Shell patterns, which are contained in the thin outer shell layer, can easily differenciate Plectostylus elegans from Plectostylus broderipii in having axially marked reddish-brown lines, even in juvenile specimens. Only extensive comparative anatomy, including soft parts as well as shell morphology, would certainly help to establish its true identity.
