Microgastropods in the subclass Caenogastropoda are diverse and species‐rich and often exhibit similar morphologies across families, posing difficulties for species identification. Spirostyliferina Bandel, 2006 is a microgastropod genus that has been placed in the family Litiopidae associated with algae and seagrass across the tropical Indo‐Pacific and with only one known member to date (Spirostyliferina lizardensis Bandel, 2006). There are uncertainties surrounding the familial assignment of Spirostyliferina however, due to its unique shell with spiral zigzag ridges, unique pitted protoconch and a lack of molecular data for phylogenetic analysis. This study aims to resolve the position of Spirostyliferina within the Caenogastropoda by employing a multilocus data set for phylogenetic reconstruction, and scanning electron microscopy and micro‐computed tomography for morphological analysis. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenies of 56 species, 30 families and six superfamilies of Caenogastropoda recovered Spirostyliferina within the Truncatelloidea. Spirostyliferina had no affinity with any existing truncatelloidean families, and therefore, the family Spirostyliferinidae fam. nov. is proposed for this genus. The genus Hoenselaaria Moolenbeek, 2009 was synonymized with Spirostyliferina in this study (monotypic Hoenselaaria wareni Moolenbeek, 2009). Spirostyliferinidae is diagnosed by heavy pitted microsculpture on protoconch I and intermittent spiral zigzag ridges on the teleoconch. The unpegged corneous operculum and taenioglossate radula of Spirostyliferina appear similar to other truncatelloideans, confirming the position of Spirostyliferina as a monotypic clade within the Truncatelloidea. In all, this study advances the taxonomic status of a microgastropod with a minute size and rarity that presents significant challenges to its collection and study.

From 2014 to 2019 at more than 100 localities freshwater molluscs were collected along the basin of Moulouya River and Oriental Region of Morocco. These samples revealed two new hydrobiid species which are described here. One new species of Islamia and one species of a new genus. Photos of the holotypes are presented in addition to the penis morphology of the new genus and a map of the sampling area with the type localities.

“…Based only on shell characters, Van Damme (1984) and Kristensen (1985) reported the presence in North Africa of seven European genera of Hydrobiidae sensu lato (i.e., Belgrandia Bourguignat, 1869;Bythinella Moquin-Tandon, 1855;Hadziella Kuscer, 1932;Horatia Bourguignat, 1887;Hydrobia Hartmann, 1821;Peringia Paladilhe, 1874 andPseudamnicola Paulucci, 1878) and one endemic genus (i.e., Heideella Backhuys and Boeters, 1974). More recently, Ghamizi et al (1999) and Bodon et al (1999) added other species and genera to the Moroccan Hydrobiidae list, mostly stygobiont species. However, despite these important discoveries, most studies have provided mere descriptions of shell morphology without focusing on anatomical structures.…”

Abstract. The species richness of the aquatic (non-marine) gastropod family Hydrobiidae Stimpson, 1865 reaches its peak in the European region partly because other areas, such as North Africa, remain to be extensively surveyed. Most of the hydrobiid species described in North Africa have been ascribed to the subfamilies Pseudamnicolinae, Hydrobiinae and the genus Mercuria. Little is known about the presence of other hydrobiid subfamilies. This study examines several specimens of gastropods collected from two springs in Tunisia. Based on a comprehensive literature review and rigorous anatomical and molecular comparisons with known species from North Africa, Europe and Asia Minor of similar morphology, we here describe a new genus, Bullaregia gen. nov., and new species Bullaregia tunisiensis gen. et sp. nov. Although the shell shape of this Tunisian species resembles that of European hydrobiid genera such as Belgrandiella, it differs in other anatomical structures (i.e., penis with a glandular strap-like lobe, and two seminal receptacles, SR1 pedunculate, SR2 sessile and less developed). Using maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches, phylogenetic relationships inferred from mtCOI sequences point to an independent evolutionary lineage for this new taxon outside Belgrandiella and other known hydrobiid subfamilies.
