The Phylogenetic Relationships of Australian Species within Charopidae (Gastropoda: Punctoidea)
Charopidae is a highly speciose family of land snails mostly distributed in the main landmasses and archipelagos of the Southern Hemisphere, with a few genera in the Northern Hemisphere. DNA sequencing is making substantial contributions to understanding

Geographic distribution modeling and taxonomy of Stephadiscus lyratus (Cothouny in Gould, 1846) (Charopidae) reveal potential distributional areas of the species along the Patagonian Forests [PDF]
Background Stephadiscus lyratus (Couthouy in Gould, 1846), an endemic Charopidae from southern South America, was described from few dry shells. The distribution of this species is known on scattering occurrences, mainly from material deposited in museum

Phylogenetic Position of African Punctoid Snails (Stylommatophora, Punctoidea, Trachycystinae) [PDF]
The punctoid land snail family Charopidae, as currently defined, is a paraphyletic assemblage of taxa with Gondwanan distribution. It is represented in Africa largely by the pinwheels (genus Trachycystis and allies) and afrodontas (genus Afrodonta and ...

Notes on Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo) land snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Pulmonata): Thirteen new species, a new genus and a first record of an introduced species [PDF]
The pulmonates represent an important component of land snail biodiversity in a wide range of habitats across Borneo. Despite their presence in many ecosystems, the diversity of these organisms is still being actively documented through ongoing surveys ...

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Punctoidea (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora) [PDF]
A phylogenetic analysis using a combination of mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and nuclear markers (ITS2, 28S) indicated that Punctoidea, as previously interpreted, is polyphyletic.

A new Charopidae from Chile and Argentina, Stephacharopa calderaensis n. gen. and n. sp., with remarks on the taxonomy of the genus Stephadiscus Hylton Scott 1981 [PDF]
A new genus and new species of Charopidae, Stephacharopa calderaensis, is described based on specimens collected in the Atacama region, northern Chile. The new genus is clearly distinct from its confamilial genera due to its axial shell sculpture.
