Biomphalaria kuhniana (Clessin, 1883), planorbid mollusc from South America

Abstract: The validity of Biomphalaria kuhniana (Clessin, 1883) is confirmed through morphological study of specimens from Surinam (type locality) and the area of Tucurui (Tocantins river, state of Pará, Brazil) in comparison with B. straminea (Dunker, 1848), and throught crossing experiments which revealed complete reproductive isolation between the two species. The full-grown shell of kuhniana is smaller (about 7.5 mm) than that of straminea (11 mm to 16.5 mm). Anatomically they differ in the degree of corrugation of … Show more

“…Originally described from Suriname, I collected it in Paramaribo and in localities on the Tocantins river basin, northern Brazil (Paraense 1988), and also in Panama (Paraense 1999), where it was named P. isthmicus by Pilsbry (1920). Samples labeled "B. straminea" from Venezuela and Colombia have been received for identification in this laboratory.…”
