Diagnosis

The species is very variable in terms of shell characters (spire height, presence/absence of the apertural fold, aperture shape, morphology of the parietal and palatal plicae and lamellae, fine morphology of the periostracum folds) between and within traditionally recognized species which are synonymized here. Therefore, it is impossible to give a general diagnosis.

Distribution

(see Figure 43). The populations assigned to Gudeodiscus phlyarius inhabit several regions of northern Vietnam (Lạng Sơn, Cao Bằng, Ninh Bình, and along the border region with the Chinese Yunnan Province) and the Chinese Guangxi. A single shell of typical Plectopylis fallax Gude, 1909 was collected in southern Yunnan, very close to the Vietnamese border (Honghe Hanizu Yizu Zizhizhou, Hekou Yaozu Zizhixian, Laofanzhai Xiang, Sierqi N 1.5 km towards Laofanzhai, 155 m, 22°44.637'N, 103°53.782'E, leg. Hunyadi, A., 19.03.2011., HA/1).

Remarks

Gudeodiscus phlyarius and taxa of similar appearance are one of the most problematical groups in the Plectopylidae. Gude (1909) described six species (anterides, cyrtochila, fallax, gouldingi, messageri, verecunda) from the border region of northern Vietnam with the Chinese Yunnan Province. One species, Plectopylis cyrtochila differs from the rest of the species by the smooth, lenticular shell and week peristome and callus. Therefore, it is discussed separately, under the name Gudeodiscus cyrtochilus. In face of the obvious similarities between the remaining five species, Plectopylis messageri and Plectopylis fallax were only compared with Plectopylis moellendorffi, and Plectopylis verecunda was compared with Plectopylis messageri. The shell characters of Plectopylis anterides and Plectopylis gouldingi were only compared with each other. Shells having transitional characters were explained by hybrid origin. Gude (1909) mentions that a specimen of messageri from Pac-Kha might be a hybrid with moellendorffi, and another specimen from the same locality was believed to be a hybrid of anterides and gouldingi. The shell characters distinguishing Plectopylis messageri and the sympatric species referable to fallax, gouldingi and anterides are stable, therefore Gudeodiscus messageri is handled separately from the rest of the taxa.
In the recent revision of the Chinese members of the family (Páll-Gergely and Hunyadi 2013), Gudeodiscus phlyarius was reported from several localities in Guangxi. Plectopylis moellendorffi Gude, 1901 was synonymized with Plectopylis phlyarius. Gudeodiscus phlyarius werneri was described from two nearby localities near Duan city. All other Chinese Gudeodiscus phlyarius populations were assigned to the nominotypical subspecies. Gudeodiscus phlyarius phlyarius populations were listed in two separate groups based on their appearance, namely “phlyarius-like, mainly flat, small form” and “larger, strongly-built shell (transition to werneri)”.
Here we include the following taxa as synonyms of Gudeodiscus phlyarius: anterides Gude, 1909, fallax Gude, 1909, fallax var. major Gude, 1909, gouldingi Gude, 1909, moellendorffi Gude, 1901, verecundus Gude, 1909, werneri Páll-Gergely, 2013. The last taxon was described on the basis of a keel with a light band around the umbilicus, the dissolved anterior lamella, the posteriorly elongated upper and lower ends of the posterior lamella and the parallel, horizontal palatal plicae. All other formerly recognized species (anterides, fallax, gouldingi, moellendorffi, verecundus) have two well-developed lamellae and oblique, usually depressed Z-shaped palatal plica, often with Y-like posterior ends. However, this study revealed that Gudeodiscus phlyarius is a widely distributed, very variable species and at this moment we see no good reason to maintain one of the morphologically distinct forms as a subspecies. Consequently, we synonymize Gudeodiscus phlyarius werneri with Gudeodiscus phlyarius.
According to the original description the anterior lamella of gouldingi is simple whereas that of anterides is “provided with buttresses”. The upper parietal plica is in contact with the anterior lamella in gouldingi, but the lamella is shorter and free in anterides. Both the upper and lower plicae are shorter in anterides. The first palatal plica of anterides has a descending ridge; the same plica is straight in gouldingi. Additionally, the palatal plicae of anterides are not united by a vertical ridge and are more widely spaced than in gouldingi (the drawings in the original description show the reverse). All of the differences mentioned by Gude (1909) are unstable even within a single sample (assumed to be single population). For example, six shells were opened from a sample collected in Nat-Son (leg. Messager, MNHN-IM-2012-2153, containing 118 “gouldingi” shells). The length of the lower horizontal plica varies greatly, but extends beyond the anterior lamella in the anterior direction in every cases. One specimen had buttresses on the anterior lamella. Two specimens possessed an anterior lamella and the upper horizontal plica united, whereas in the case of four specimens this plica was free. Even among the few shells examined by Gude, he found that shells exhibited transitional character states between anterides and gouldingi. Therefore, these forms cannot be handled as separate species.
In the original description of Plectopylis fallax, Gude (1909) compared it only with Plectopylis moellendorffi. He did not compare Plectopylis fallax either with Plectopylis anterides, or with Plectopylis gouldingi. Based on the material housed in the NHM and the specimens mentioned in Gude’s (1909) paper, Gude received very few shells from Messager. Examining the type specimens of the above-mentioned taxa revealed that besides the difference in size (typical fallax is larger than anterides and gouldingi), the only distinguishing feature is the simple and free palatal plicae in fallax and the bifurcated and usually connecting plicae of gouldingi (syn: anterides). The palatal plicae are very variable even within the same sample (see Figures 11) and certainly cannot be used to separate these taxa. Larger shells usually have separated palatal plicae and smaller shells tend to have joint palatal plicae. In addition, the characteristic “nautiliform” shape of typical fallax shells is also not a reliable distinguishing feature from Plectopylis gouldingi/anterides as this trait is also variable across gouldingi and fallax samples.
Based on shell size, most of Messager’s samples in the MNHN can be assigned to three forms (approximately 11–13 mm: gouldingi, 14–16 mm: fallax, 19–21 mm: fallax var. major). However, the ranges of shell size overlaps within a few samples (see “mixed” samples under the material) and assigning some of these shells to one of the forms is impossible. The size range from typical gouldingi (11 mm) to fallax var. major (21 mm) shows a clinal variation without interruption (see Figure 16). On the other hand, we found one sample where the shells clearly differ from two separate forms, namely six typical “fallax var. major” (D: 18.9–20 mm) and gouldingi (D: 12.4–13.5) shells. Unfortunately, as in other samples, the collection locality is not exact enough to determine if these specimens were sympatric.
The apertural fold is always present on typical Gudeodiscus phlyarius shells, but can be rudimentary or missing in typical anterides/fallax/gouldingi shells. The edge of the periostracal folds has a pointed structure which seems to occur in a spiralling pattern on the shell of most Vietnamese phlyarius specimens, but these are always missing in fallax and gouldingi specimens (this trait is visible only in fresh shells) (Figures 10C–F). Typical moellendorffi specimens (synonym of phlyarius) possess a somewhat elevated spire, whereas typical anterides/fallax/gouldingi shells are almost always entirely flat. The only shell character found to be stable within typical Vietnamese Plectopylis phlyarius shells and Plectopylis anterides/fallax/gouldingi shells, however, is the rounded aperture in the former and the elongated aperture in the latter (Figures 9C–D). Even this difference is found to be variable in Chinese populations. The populations listed as “transitions to werneri” in Páll-Gergely and Hunyadi (2013) have rather elongated aperture, similar to that of typical Vietnamese fallax shells, but have elevated spire and overall similar shell shape to typical Vietnamese phlyarius. Therefore, we refer to anterides, gouldingi and fallax as synonyms of Gudeodiscus phlyarius.
The genital structure of typical fallax and typical phlyarius differ considerably. Namely, the former lacks the penial caecum or has only a very small one, and has a reticulated inner surface of the penis, whereas the latter has a short penial caecum and its penis has parallel folds on the inner wall. The size of the penial caecum however, may not have a strong taxonomic value because it was found to vary largely within species (e.g. Gudeodiscus multispira, see Páll-Gergely and Asami 2014). The sculpture of the wall of the proximal portion of the penis may have a seasonal variability (see under Gudeodiscus villedaryi and in Discussion).
A sample (MNHN 2012-2177) labelled verecunda, which contained 9 shells from the type locality (Phony-Tho) supports the synonymy of the taxon in relation to gouldingi and fallax, and therefore to Gudeodiscus phlyarius. Seven of the shells were typical verecundus with an elevated spire, a strong apertural fold connected to the callus, and an anterior lamella fused to the lower plica; the plica does not extending beyond the lamella anteriorly (confirmed in 3 shells). The two other shells however, have somewhat lower spires, the apertural fold is not connected to the callus and the lower plica is free from the anterior lamella and extended beyond it anteriorly (one of the two shells was opened). These two shells can be interpreted as transitional forms between verecundus and fallax in terms of spire height, apertural fold and parietal plicae/lamellae morphology. Since transitional forms were found between typical verecunda and fallax shells, Plectopylis verecunda can be interpreted as a local form of fallax having elevated spire and fused anterior lamella and lower plica. Therefore, we synonymise Plectopylis verecunda with Gudeodiscus phlyarius.
There are two Vietnamese “forms” of Gudeodiscus phlyarius which differ from all other typical Vietnamese phlyarius shells. One of the morphologically distinct forms inhabits Ninh Bình Province, where we have knowledge of two populations (number 3 on Figure 43). These shells are smaller and comparatively flatter than the usual phlyarius, and have a characteristic “nautiliform” shape, wider umbilicus, with the last whorl leaving the larger part of the penultimate whorl visible. No differences in the lamellae were recognized. The other form is known from one locality in north-western Thái Nguyên Province (number 2 on Figure 43). This has an elevated spire and narrow umbilicus. Only three specimens are known, and two of them were opened. One of the opened specimens had three very weak parietal lamellae (possibly an abnormal character state, similar to that of the holotype of Plectopylis infralevis), and the second has the anterior lamella and the lower plica fused; the plica did not extends beyond the anterior lamella in the anterior direction.
Two Chinese populations (near Baxianyan, number 1 on Figure 43) have an oblique anterior lamella and an aperture more reflected downwards.
