The Supposed Transcaucasian EndemiteAdzharia renschiHesse, 1933 is a South AmericanBulimulusSpecies (Gastropoda: Bulimulidae)

“…The radula figured by Hesse (1933: fig. 4D) with tricuspid central, bicuspid lateral and multicuspid marginal teeth fits the radula of B. bonariensis sporadicus figured by Miquel (1991: figs. 5254).…”

“…4B) are similar to those of B. bonariensis figured by Schlesch (1935) and Breure (1978: fig. 236, as B. juyuyensis; see Miquel, 1991), but the flagellum is longer. The second genital system figured by Hesse (1933: fig.…”

“…3). Some authors distinguish between two subspecies of B. bonariensis, namely the broad Bulimulus b. bonariensis (Rafinesque, 1833) from northeastern Argentina and Uruguay and the more slender Bulimulus bonariensis sporadicus (d 'Orbigny, 1835) from Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and northwestern Argentina (Miquel, 1991). According to its dimensions, Adzharia renschi Hesse, 1933, is more similar to Bulimulus bonariensis sporadicus (d 'Orbigny, 1835).…”

Caribbean Bulimulus revisited: physical moves and molecular traces (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Bulimulidae)

“…This species is widespread in its area of origin and has been recorded from Bolivia, Brazil (Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina), Paraguay, and Uruguay (Agudo-Padrón, 2014;Agudo-Padrón et al, 2014;Simone, 2006 (Cuezzo et al, 2013;Scarabino, 2003). Miquel (1991) and Cuezzo et al (2013) consider these taxa as synonyms, with Rafinesque's name having priority. However, the intraspecific variation within the large distribution range of this species makes it likely to be a species complex.…”

“…Another Caribbean species, B. diaphanus (Pfeiffer, 1855), was divided into two subspecies ranging from Hispaniola to St. Croix, and from St. Martin to Iles des Saintes respectively (Breure, 1974). Anatomical data of Bulimulus species are scarce (Breure, 1978;Miquel, 1991) and mainly concern the mainland species. Molecular data has become available during the past decades, the most extensive treatment of this genus by Breure & Romero (2012) provides seven sequences, of which five from Caribbean.…”
