“…comm.). This, combined with the very small size of most of these molluscs, make this fauna a promising field for the discovery of new taxa, akin to the similar recent studies recording invertebrates in continental central and northern Chile (Miquel & barKer 2009;Miquel & cádiZ-lorca 2009;araya 2013, Miquel & araya 2013, araya & catalán 2014, reiSWig & araya 2014, araya & araya 2015a, 2015b, araya & aliaga 2015 or, for example, in the Galápagos Archipelago (Miquel & herrera 2014).…”

New additions to the land mollusk fauna of the Juan Fernández Archipelago (Chile) are presented for the first time since odhner (1922). The specimens were collected incidental to arthropod species obtained by the Berlese method in Robinson Crusoe Island in 2011. A new Charopidae Neoparyphantopsis crusoeana gen. and sp. n. is described. A new name is established for the achatinellid Tornatellina aperta odhner 1922 (non Tornatellina aperta PeaSe 1864). A new combination is proposed for Punctum conicum odhner 1922, transferring this species from the genus Punctum MorSe 1864 of family Punctidae to the genus Sinployea SoleM 1983, of the family Charopidae; and five species belonging to the genera Amphidoxa alberS 1850, Fernandezia hyatt & PilSbry 1911, Sinployea SoleM 1983 and Tornatellina PFeiFFer 1842 are re-described. Also, the first occurrence of a Vertiginidae species in Chile is recorded. All of the studied taxa are so far endemic to the Juan Fernández Archipelago. The present paper confirms the status of Robinson Crusoe Island as the commune with the richest fauna of terrestrial snails in Chile relative to its area.

“…Neotropical overview of land snails is still poor in many countries (Régnier et al, 2015), highlighting the malacological studies performed in Argentina (Cuezzo et al, 2013), Brazil (Simone, 2006), Colombia (Linares & Vera, 2012), Cuba (Espinosa & Ortea, 2009), Ecuador (Breure & Borrero, 2008) and Peru (Breure & Avila, 2016). In Chile, the study of land snails has been focused especially in the description of new species (Araya & Aliaga, 2015;Miquel & Araya, 2013Valdovinos & Stuardo, 1988; as well as studying their distributional range and reporting new records of exotic species (Araya, 2015a(Araya, , b, 2016Araya & Catalán, 2014;Araya et al, , 2017Cádiz & Gallardo, 2007;Martínez-de los Ríos, 2017;Stuardo & Vega, 1985;Valdovinos, 1999;Valdovinos & Stuardo, 1989). Also, the study of their natural history and ecological characteristics has been poor (Cádiz & Gallardo, 2008;Jackson & Jackson, 2011;Valdovinos & Stuardo, 1988).…”

Terrestrial mollusks are one of the least studied groups of terrestrial invertebrates, especially in the Neotropics. In Chile, there is scarce biological and ecological information about many genera, even though the group is quite diverse and occupies different habitats along the country. Plectostylus araucanus is the most recently described species and one of the few arboreal species found only in the coastal native forest of central-south of Chile. In this study, we recorded a new locality for P. araucanus in the Maule region and described ecological and physiological characteristics. The new locality is placed 204 km northwards of the type locality. Based on different records, Plectostylus araucanus is proposed as an endangered (EN) species under the distribution criterion of IUCN. Most of the specimens of P. araucanus were found living in tree cavities and away from the edge of native forest fragments. Physiological measures showed monthly differences, especially between some months of summer and fall and between months of the same season (i.e., summer). We discuss the implications of our results in the microhabitat selection, thermoregulation and habitat use by this tree snail, and the importance of this data in management and conservation for other native malacofauna.

“…In the present study—part of ongoing work aimed at reviewing the terrestrial mollusks from northern and central Chile (Araya & Aliaga, 2015; Araya, 2015b; Araya, 2016)—we report a new terrestrial snail species, characterized by having a shell with an expanded aperture and a columellar fold. It was collected buried in humus and sand among communities of arborescent cacti ( Eulychnia iquiquensis ), large succulent shrubs ( Euphorbia lactiflua ), and other xerophytic plants in a narrow area in the foothills of the Chilean Coastal Range north of Paposo, Región de Antofagasta, in northern Chile.…”

A new species of Scutalus Albers, 1850 (Gastropoda: Bulimulidae), Scutalus chango sp. n., is described from a coastal area of northern Chile. Empty shells of this new species were found buried in sand and under boulders and rocks in the foothills of the Chilean Coastal Range at Paposo, Región de Antofagasta. This new species is distinguished from all other Chilean terrestrial snails by its slender shell with a flared and reflected aperture, and by the presence of a columellar fold. This is the first record of Scutalus in Chile, and the southernmost record for this endemic South American bulimulid genus. The presence of this species in Paposo highlights the need for further research and for conservation guidelines in coastal areas of northern Chile, which have comparatively high levels of biodiversity and endemism.

A new species of Lilloiconcha Weyrauch, 1965 (Pulmonata: Charopidae) from central Chile

Abstract: In this study we describe the occurrence of a new charopid species, the second record of the genus Lilloiconcha in the country, living near Los Molles in central Chile. This small species lives buried in humus and underneath stones, large boulders and rotten leaves.
