“…In spite of the important questions on B. obstructa (Yong 1998) and the type locality of B. havanensis (Yong et al 1997), in the present work, the Cuban snail populations were identified in accordance with the classical morphological systematics adopted by Paraense, which has produced the most complete description of the majority of the Neotropical Biomphalaria species (Paraense 1975a,b, 1990, 1996, Paraense et al 1992.…”

“…In shell and anatomic characters they are indistinguishable from topotypic specimens from Peru studied by Paraense (1996a), who also collected this species in Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica (Paraense 1996a). As shown by Paraense (1996a), Planorbis dentiens Morelet, 1849 from Belize, and Tropicorbis shimeki F.C. Baker, 1945 Tate's description applies well to Orbigny's syntypes (in Paraense 1996a, Fig.…”

In the course of two trips to Central America (June 1967 and JulyAugust 1976) I had the opportunity of collecting topotypic specimens of Planorbis nicaraguanus Morelet, 1849, anatomically defined in this paper, and of P. yzabalensis Crosse & Fischer, 1879, the identity of the latter with Drepanotrema anatinum (Orbigny, 1835) is confirmed. The following planorbid species were also found: Helisoma trivolvis (Say, 1817) in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Belize; H. duryi (Wetherby, 1879) in Costa Rica; Biomphalaria helophila (Orbigny, 1835) in Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador; B. kuhniana (Clessin, 1883) in Panama; B. obstructa (Morelet,1849) in Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador; B. straminea (Dunker, 1848) in Costa Rica; B. subprona (Martens, 1899) in Guatemala; D. anatinum (Orbigny,1835) in Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica; D. depressissimum (Moricand,1839) in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama; D. lucidum (Pfeiffer, 1839) in Guatemala, Belize and Nicaragua; D. surinamense (Clessin, 1884) in Costa Rica and Panama; and Gyraulus percarinatus sp. n. in Panama. The occurrence of B. kuhniana and D. surinamense is first recorded in Central America, and Gyraulus percarinatus is the first representative of the genus provenly occurring in the American continent south of the United States. The following synonymy is proposed: Planorbis declivis Tate, 1870 = Biomphalaria helophila (Orbigny, 1835); Planorbis isthmicus Pilsbry, 1920 = Biomphalaria kuhniana (Clessin, 1883); Planorbis cannarum Morelet, 1849 and Segmentina donbilli Tristram, 1861 = Biomphalaria obstructa (Morelet, 1849); and Planorbis yzabalensis Crosse & Fischer, 1879 = Drepanotrema anatinum (Orbigny, 1835), confirming Aguayo (1933)

“…Bulinus and Biomphalaria are the two best-studied gastropod genera in southern Africa because they are the aquatic intermediate hosts of human and bovine schistosomiasis (Rubaba et al, 2016). Although species of Biomphalaria commonly occur in temporary habitats in the Neotropical region (Paraense, 1996), this is rare for the African counterparts. Biomphalaria species in the Neotropics often have lamellae in their shells' apertures that are thought to play a role in tolerating desiccation.…”
