“…A shorter fragment of COI was obtained for M.bakeri and M.tingitana by using the sequence PCOIF4 (5’-TAGCTATTTTTTCTYTACATYTRGC-3’) as forward and COR722b as reverse primers. The PCR cycling conditions were as described in Schreiber et al (2012) and Delicado et al (2012). Products were sequenced in an ABI 3730 XL sequencer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) using a Big Dye Terminator Kit (Life Technologies).…”

“…Our objectives were: (1) to delimit the formerly known and potential new Moroccan species of Mercuria under the phylogenetic species concept (i.e., a monophyletic assemblage of populations that possesses a unique combination of morphological traits) previously applied to hydrobiids (e.g., Delicado et al 2012, Hershler et al 2013); (2) to examine intra- and interspecific genetic variation and resolve phylogenetic relationships based on mtCOI sequences; and (3), to provide habitat and ecological data for future conservation plans.…”

The western Palearctic freshwater snail genus Mercuria (Caenogastropoda: Hydrobiidae) comprises 26 species primarily distributed in lowland localities of Western Europe and North Africa. Although this genus in North Africa has received considerable attention in terms of species discoveries through morphological descriptions, its distribution and phylogenetic patterns remain unknown. Based on morphological and mitochondrial DNA (mtCOI) evidence, this study examines the three Mercuria species (M.bakeri, M.tingitana, and M.targouasensis) from Morocco identified so far. Besides expanding on information regarding the anatomy of these species, two new species (M.midarensissp. n. and M.tensiftensissp. n.) are described for this region and phylogenetic relationships inferred between these species and the European M.emiliana and M.similis. All Moroccan and European species were recovered as independent entities according to these phylogenetic inferences (uncorrected p-distances 2.8–8.5%) and DNA barcode data. Moroccan Mercuria species clustered with M.emiliana from Spain, although basal relationships within this clade were not well supported. Given that factors such as the season when specimens are collected, habitat type, and parasites could be responsible for the remarkable intraspecific variation observed in shell and penis morphology, it is proposed that the most efficient approach to delimit and identify Mercuria species is to combine morphological descriptions with genetic data.

“…Morphological descriptions are based on the terminology of Hershler and Ponder (1998) except for characters not described or included in that paper for which we use the nomenclature of Delicado et al (2012). Spire whorls were counted following the method of Ramos et al (2000).…”

“…The diversity of the subgenus Corrosella is much lower than that of Pseudamnicola and only 11 nominal species (described by: Dupuy 1851, Fagot 1907, Boeters 1970, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1999, Girardi 2009 and Delicado et al 2012) have been ascribed to this subgenus in a more restricted distribution area.…”

Several Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) populations of the central and eastern Iberian Peninsula have been ascribed to Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) astieri (Dupuy, 1851), though recent evidence demonstrates the species could be endemic to the departments of Var and Alpes-Maritimes in France. Through the identification of cryptic species using a combined morphological and phylogenetic approach, this paper provides a detailed morphological description of Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) astieri, clarifying its taxonomic boundaries and confirming it as a French endemic. In parallel, by comparing Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) populations from the provinces of Castellón and Valencia in Eastern Spain, it was observed that rather than Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) astieri they represented a new species here described as Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) hauffei sp. n. Among other characters, the two species show marked differences in shell shape, male and female genital systems, radular formula and concentration of the nervous system. Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) hauffei sp. n. was also compared morphologically to another two Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) species living in nearby areas [Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) hinzi Boeters, 1986 and Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) navasiana (Fagot, 1907)], molecularly to Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) falkneri (Boeters, 1970), the type species of the subgenus, and to the rest of the Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) species described so far. Morphological differentiation between the species is supported by a genetic divergence of 7.4% inferred from a partial sequence (658 bp) of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). On the basis of an average 8% (5.39 to 11.15%) divergence estimated for the COI gene in other Pseudamnicola (Corrosella) species reported in GenBank, the existence of two specific entities is here proposed, which will have impact on conservation policies both in France and in Spain.

“…it is ovoid to pyriform (HersHler & PonDer 1998). and have distinguished the following six species of Corrosella in Granada: P. (C.) falkneri (Boeters, 1970), P. (C.) luisi Boeters, 1984, P. (C.) hydrobiopsis Boeters, 1999, P. (C.) bareai Delicado, Machordom et Ramos, 2012, P. (C.) iruritai Delicado, Machordom et Ramos, 2012, and P. (C.) marisolae Delicado, Machordom et Ramos, 2012; two species in Jaén: P. (C.) andalusica Delicado, Machordom et Ramos, 2012 and P. (C.) manueli Delicado, Machordom et Ramos, 2012, and one in Valencia and Castellon: P. (C.) hauffei Delicado et Ramos, 2012. Another two species of Corrosella live in northern Spain, i. e. P.
