“…In the last years, several studies performed in different areas, have greatly improved the knowledge on this family (e.g., Schander, 1994;van Aartsen et al, 1998van Aartsen et al, , 2000Lygre et al, 2011;Pimenta et al, 2008Pimenta et al, , 2018Høisaeter, 2014;and references therein). These studies frequently showed that numerous pyramidellid species are found co-existing in particular, even small, geographic areas, as well as the fact that a high number of species have remained undescribed until recent times, a phenomenon particularly noticeable when considering the fauna from South America (Pimenta, 2012;Pimenta & Absalão, 2001, 2004Pimenta et al, 2008Pimenta et al, , 2009Güller & Zelaya, 2019). Even considering all the extant published literature on this family, the current knowledge on this group still appears far MALACOLOGIA, 2021, 63(2): 225-242 1 Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales "Bernardino Rivadavia".…”
