“…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.

“…The finding of a new species of Berthella in northern Chile also highlights the need of further studies in the area or in northern Chile in general, which have recently revealed new invertebrate species ( Reiswig & Araya, 2014 ; Collado, 2015 ) or new distributions for obscure or rare species, both from shallow and deeper waters (e.g. Araya & Aliaga, 2015 ; Araya & Araya, 2015b ; Araya, Aliaga & Araya, 2015 ; Araya, 2015c ; Fischer, van der Velde & Roubos, 2007 ; Labrín, Guzmán & Sielfeld, 2015 ).…”

The coast of northern Chile has been sparsely studied in regards to its invertebrate fauna, with just a few works reviewing the distribution of local mollusks. This work presents a survey of the shallow water heterobranch sea slugs currently occurring around the port of Caldera (27 °S), in the Región de Atacama, northern Chile. Eight species of sea slugs were found in this study: Aplysiopsis cf. brattstroemi (Marcus, 1959), Baptodoris peruviana (d’Orbigny, 1837), Diaulula variolata (d’Orbigny, 1837), Doris fontainii d’Orbigny, 1837, Onchidella marginata (Couthouy in Gould, 1852), Phidiana lottini (Lesson, 1831), Tyrinna delicata (Abraham, 1877) and the new species Berthella schroedli sp. nov., described herein. All of the species found in the area are endemic to South America, having distributions in the southeastern Pacific and South Atlantic Oceans, from Ancash, Perú to Peninsula Valdés, Argentina, and two of them represent species which are endemic to the Chilean coasts (Aplysiopsis cf. brattstroemi and Berthella schroedli). The finding of a previously undescribed species emphasizes the need of further surveys, particularly in subtidal and deeper waters, in order to improve the knowledge on this neglected fauna in Atacama.

“…The Region of Atacama has recently been the subject of several works dealing with its invertebrate fauna, which has uncovered new records and new species endemic to the area ( Osorio, 2012 ; Araya, 2013 ; Araya & Aliaga, 2015b ; Araya & Araya, 2015a ; Araya & Araya, 2015b ; Reiswig & Araya, 2014 ; Collado, 2015 ; Labrín, Guzmán & Sielfeld, 2015 ). Most of the taxa discussed in this study were also recorded in often narrow distributions ( Table 2 ), or single localities along the coastal desert.…”

The Bulimulidae (Mollusca: Pulmonata) from the Región de Atacama, northern Chile

The bulimulid genus Bostryx Troschel, 1847 is the most species-rich genus of land snails found in Chile, with the majority of its species found only in the northern part of the country, usually in arid coastal zones. This genus has been sparsely studied in Chile and there is little information on their distribution, diversity or ecology. Here, for the first time, a formal analysis of the diversity of bulimulids in the Región de Atacama, northern Chile, is reported. Of the seventeen species recorded for the area, most of them were efectively found in the field collections and one record was based on literature. Five taxa are described as new: Bostryx ancavilorum sp. nov., Bostryx breurei sp. nov., Bostryx calderaensis sp. nov., Bostryx ireneae sp. nov. and Bostryx valdovinosi sp. nov., and the known geographic distribution of seven species is extended. Results reveal that the Región de Atacama is the richest region in terrestrial snails in Chile, after the Juan Fernández Archipelago. All of the terrestrial molluscan species occurring in the area are endemic to Chile, most of them with restricted geographic distributions along the coastal zones, and none of them are currently protected by law. Further sampling in northern Chile will probably reveal more snail species to be discovered and described.
