Description

Cochlostoma (T.) hallgassi sp. nov.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 37863EA3-D020-49FF-B4D6-640C063A3B9E

Figs 73I, 82 (blue dot), 92B, 93–94

Differential diagnosis

Cochlostoma (T.) cassiniacum and NFS064 have a different female genital morphology (Fig. 92D–E). Cochlostoma (T.) crosseanum (Paulucci, 1879) can be distinguished because of the spotless shell with widely spaced ribs (Fig. 92C), whereas there are well-marked spots and stronger and closely spaced ribs in C. (T.) hallgassi sp. nov. It can be distinguished by the ribbing of the shell (ribs irregular in size in hallgassi, of the same size in mariannae) and the more curved columellar lobe from C. (T.) mariannae Nordsieck, 2011 (Fig. 92A).

Etymology

The species is named after Alessandro Hallgass, a malacologist and friend, who collected most of the samples we have from central Italy.

Type locality

ITALY • 1- Mount Petrella, 1280 m a.s.l.; 41.3166° N, 13.6542° E.

Description

SHELL. Moderately spaced riblets on last part of protoconch. Teleoconch with two lines of reddish spots on whorls and with ribs not very prominent, rounded and irregular in size. Moderately strong lip with columellar lobe only barely curved toward umbilicus partially covered by it.

MEASUREMENTS. 6 ♀♀: whorls=7.5–8, H = 7.3–8.1 mm, H/W=2.45–2.67, roundness =0.15–0.18, ribs incl.= 64–67, apert. incl.= 14–19°, ribs/mm 1 st wh. =7–11, ribs/mm 4 th wh.=9–13, umb. =narrow slit.

FEMALE GENITAL ORGANS. As in C. (T.) nanum.

Remarks

In the 16S analysis (H3 not amplified), C. (T.) hallgassi is a very close relative (p-distance =0.2%) of a sample from Montenegro, in the Appendix as NFS142. However, the shells of the two samples are different, with marked spots and stronger, narrowly spaced, whitish ribs on the whorls in the Monte Petrella and spotless whorls with weaker ribs of the same color as the background in NFS142.
