“…"Heleobia hatcheri" and "Heleobia sp." were closely-related to the three Potamolithus species studied in this work and these three taxa are more closely linked to Tateidae family than to Lythoglyphidae, as was pointed out by Wilke et al (2013) for P. ribeirensis.…”

“…The latter has two novel and significant implications: i) the conspicuous group "hatcheri". traditional component of the Cochliopidae from Chile (biese, 1944) and Argentina (Gaillard & casTellanos, 1976), would disappear as part of this family; ii) as was recently suggested by Wilke et al (2013), the Potamolithus genus endemic from South America would not be Lithoglyphidae as was proposed originally by daVis & pons da silVa (1984). Several other morphological features of H. hatcheri in addition to its ovate-conic and small shells have previously suggested that this taxon departs from typical cochliopid characters.…”

“…With respect to the phylogenetic proximity of H. hatcheri to the South American genus Potamolithus and the suggestion that the latter belong not to Lithoglyphidae but to Tateidae (Wilke et al, 2013), these authors indicated that "We do not know of any unique characters defining this group". Nevertheless, the diagnosis of the PalearticNeartic Lithoglyphidae is made by the closed ventral wall of the female capsule gland and the blade-like penis lacking large appendages and specialized glands, remarking finally that the genus Potamolithus was resolved as a member of the Tateidae Clade in all their molecular analysis (Wilke et al, 2013).…”

“…While it has served as the basis to define the "typical" idealized anatomical ground plan of the Lithoglyphidae (Wilke et al, 2001), it is not incompatible with the characterization of the Tateidae female genitalia as "simple, usually with one distal seminal receptacle and a bursa copulatrix; ventral channel occasionally separated to form a vestibule", (Wilke et al, 2013). In H. hatcheri the spermathecal tube seems not be separated from the albumen gland, which would distinguish it from the Cochliopidae.…”

ABSTRACT. For over 40 years malacologists have been discussing the taxonomical status of Heleobia species, an enigmatic genus from Cochliopidae family (Caenogastropoda: Rissooidea). As with other rissooidean families, the considerable character convergence and the paucity of anatomical synapomorphies has proved to be a problem in resolving cochliopid phylogenetic relations and establishing the validity of several nominal cochliopid species. Here we present a molecular contribution to solve the taxonomical status of one of the most abundant Southern South America cochliopid genera which has many endemic species. We report molecular evidence that supports three of the four Heleobia groups described for this region, the "australis", "parchappii" and "piscium" groups. The fourth, the "hatcheri" group, belongs not to Heleobia but to a different genus which itself should not be considered as part of the family Cochliopidae but closely related to genus Potamolithus Pilsbry & Rush, 1896.

Ecrobia is a genus of small brackish‐water mud snails with an amphi‐Atlantic distribution. Interestingly, the species occurring in the northwestern Atlantic, Ecrobia truncata, is more closely related to the Pontocaspian taxa, Ecrobia grimmi and Ecrobia maritima, than to the species occurring in the northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. At least three colonization scenarios may account for this peculiar biogeographical pattern: (1) a recent human‐mediated dispersal, (2) a historical transatlantic interchange, and (3) a historical transpolar interchange. To test these three scenarios, we used five operational criteria—time of species divergence, first appearance in the fossil record, dispersal limitation as well as environmental filtering and biotic interactions along the potential migration routes. Specifically, we inferred a time‐calibrated molecular phylogeny for Ecrobia and reconstructed a paleogeographical map of the Arctic Ocean at 2.5 million years ago (Mya). Based on the five operational criteria, scenarios 1 and 2 can likely be rejected. In contrast, all criteria support scenario 3 (historical transpolar interchange). It is therefore suggested that a bird‐mediated and/or ocean current‐mediated faunal interchange via the Arctic Ocean occurred during the Late Pliocene or Early Pleistocene. This dispersal was likely facilitated by reduced distances between the Eurasian and North American/Greenland landmasses, marine introgressions, and/or a stepping‐stone system of brackish‐water habitats in northern Siberia, as well as a lack of competition along the migration route. As for the direction of dispersal, the scientific data presented are not conclusive. However, there is clearly more support for the scenario of dispersal from the Pontocaspian Basin to North America than vice versa. This is the first study providing evidence for a natural faunal exchange between the Pontocaspian Basin and North America via the Arctic Ocean.
