Notes on radula of <i>Boucardicus leopardus </i>Emberton, 2002 (Gastropoda: Cyclophoroidea: Alycaeidae) and systematic position of the genus <i>Boucardicus </i>Fischer-Piette et Bedoucha, 1965

Abstract

The SEM image and description of the radula is presented for the first time. The radula appeared morphologically similar to those of representatives of Alycaeidae. At the same time representatives of Boucardicus differ significantly from South-East Asian Alycaeidae. It is suggested, that presently is not monophyletic and includes representatives of different genera and possibly families.
