“…In order to compare the morphology we also examined specimens of M. bilineatum (Benson, 1842) (Tsai et al, 2005) (Table 1). The primers and protocols used to amplify this marker are according to Gomes et al (2010).…”

“…High values of genetic divergence were reported for the land slug Phyllocaulis (13.1%) (Gomes et al 2010) and between congeneric species of Ariophantidae and Dyakiidae (4.3 to 10.1%) (Abu-Bakar et al 2014). Moreover, Liew et al (2009) reported divergence values of 5% to 25% within Everettia spp.…”

In order to clarify the systematic position of Helix latastei Letourneux in Letourneux & Bourguignat, 1887, and Helix latasteopsis Letourneux & Bourguignat, 1887, a comprehensive approach using morphological and molecular methods is presented. The investigation of the genital organs of both species showed that they belong to the genus Xerocrassa Monterosato, 1892 with two very small dart sacs and a few tubiform glandulae mucosae. In our phylogenetic analysis using the mitochondrial markers COI, 16S and the nuclear cluster 5.8-ITS2-28S, the results of the anatomical research were confirmed. Thus, the genus Ereminella Pallary, 1919, which is based on H. latastei, becomes a junior synonym of Xerocrassa. A review of the genus-level taxa Xerobarcana Brandt, 1959, and Xeroregima Brandt, 1959, showed that these should also be considered as synonyms of Xerocrassa. A third species, Helix lacertara Bourguignat, 1863 from Algeria was found to be closely related to X. latastei based on its shell morphology. A map showing the distribution of the three species treated is supplied.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the teacher of natural history and professor of zoology in Leipzig Heinrich Simroth (1851-1917 was one of the best known German malacologists. In addition to his encyclopaedic work and important review on molluscs and gastropods in particular, Simroth made his name as an expert of air-breathing terrestrial, hermaphrodite slugs, or pulmonate land snails without shell. Being a life-long passion for him Simroth described a plethora of new taxa, but never established his own reference collection. Contrary to recent assumptions, though, that there is no Simroth collection, a total of 43 of his slug types, in particular of tropical vaginulids from South America (10), Africa (10) and SE Asia (6), as well as agriolimacids from Ethiopia and the Caucasus (14 þ 1) as well as palearctic limacids (2), were found to be extant in the Malacozoological collection at the Museum fçr Naturkunde in Berlin. Thus, out of 85 vaginulid taxa named by Simroth, the ZMB actually still holds a third of them. Evidently Simroth has returned the specimens to that institution where the material from expeditions and collections had been deposited and that had provided the basis for his description of new species. Here a catalogue is compiled, following a brief account on Simroth's life and scientific work, remarks on his vaginulid work and the origin of his material. Finally some general zoosystematic implications, e.g. as to overnaming and taxonomic redundancy, are discussed.
