Abstract: ABSTRACT.A remarkable new species of pulmonate land snail was found in the collection of the Senckenberg Forschungninstitut und Naturmuseum Frankfurt (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and is described here as Leiostracus faerie sp. nov. It can be easily identified by its small and translucent shell with fine axial light brown bands and its protoconch sculpture. It was collected in the Rio Doce ("Doce River") region in Espírito Santo, Brazil, an area known for a high diversity and endemicity of land snails. This dis… Show more

“…The Doce River and its tributaries host many endemic fish and molluscs, including recently described species (Roxo et al. , Salvador and Cavallari ) that may be locally endemic. Besides chemical pollution, the heavy sludge that spilled into the river reduced oxygen availability, increased turbidity, interrupted reproductive movements of many migratory fish species, and may be altering the functioning of entire ecological networks (Lambertz and Dergam , Massante ).…”

“…This paucity of data reflects the general lack of studies on this group in Brazil, and the greatly reduced sampling effort in the Amazon basin overall, especially considering its enormous area. The scarce malacological research in the region has resulted in new records of species for Brazil (Salvador et al 2020a(Salvador et al , 2020b and even the discovery of new species (Simone 2010;Jardim et al 2013) in the past decade.…”

“…There is an average of 21 years of the so-called "shelf-life" separating the time when a specimen is first collected from the formal description and naming of a new species in a scientific publication (FontAine et al 2012). However, the shelf-life can sometimes extend to over a century (sAlvAdor & cAvAllAri 2014, Kemp 2015.…”
