The genus Plesiophysa, with a redescription of P. ornata (Haas, 1938) (Gastropoda: Planorbidae)

Abstract: A redescription of conchological and anatomical characters of the planorbid mollusc Plesiophysa ornata (Haas, 1938) is presented, based on topotypic material and specimens from 14 additional localities in the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais. Due to the close similarity of their shells, a sure discrimination of the five species of Plesiophysa described so far (P. pilsbryi, P. granulata, P. guadeloupensis, P. ornata and P. hubendicki) is only poss… Show more

“…dolichomastix is indistinguishable, by the shell characters, from the other known species of the genus, namely, P. striata (Orbigny 1841), P. granulata ("Shuttleworth" Sowerby 1873), P. guadeloupensis ("Fischer" Mazé 1883), P. ornata (Haas 1938) and P. hubendicki Richards & Ferguson 1962. It differs from the anatomically studied speciesgranulata by Harry and Hubendick (1964), ornata by Hubendick (1949) and Paraense (2002), and hubendicki by Richards and Ferguson (1962) -in the following characters: number of ovotestis diverticula (about 50, against 12 in granulata, 100 in ornata, unstated in hubendicki); and length of flagella (about as long as the penial complex, against about 1/3 to 1/6 in the other three).…”

“…4) it is widely occupied by the renal organ, which extends from the left of the heart to the region of the pneumostome; from there it bends on itself to reach the heart auricle, turns again in a sharp curve to descend along the right margin of the previous loop, finally bending leftward to open inside the mantle aperture. A "pericardial organ", described by Harry and Hubendick (1963) in P. granulata, and also present in P. ornata (see Paraense 2002), lies on the right side of the heart. A dorsolateral ridge parallels the left side of the renal organ and reflects ventrally at the back of the pulmonary cavity to proceed cephalad as the rectal ridge.…”

“…Os poucos estudos existentes dizem respeito principalmente à distribuição das espécies Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818), Biomphalaria tenagophila (Orbigny, 1835) e Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848), hospedeiras naturais do Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907, citando em alguns casos a ocorrência de simpatrias com outras espécies límnicas. Até o presente, levantamentos da malacofauna límnica foram realizados nos Estados do Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Rondônia, São Paulo, Distrito Federal e Região Amazônica (MAGALHÃES 1969, PARAENSE 1983, COIMBRA JR & SANTOS 1986, VAZ et al 1992, LUZ et al 1998, SOUZA et al 1998, PEREIRA et al 2000a, b, THIENGO et al 2001, 2002a, b, 2004a.…”

“…Uma vez que as características da concha e da anatomia são indistinguíveis das descritas para P. ornata, o autor admite sinonímia entre estas espé-cies e, seguindo o Código Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoológica, a espécie válida passa a ser P. guadeloupensis. Quanto à distribuição geográfica desta espécie no Brasil (PARAENSE 2002a, HAAS 1938 É possível que esta espécie não tenha sido observada na maioria dos levantamentos malacológicos devido ao reduzido número de especialistas neste grupo e por não se tratar de uma espécie de importância médica e veterinária, alvo dos principais levantamentos malacológicos.…”
