Littoraria melanostoma (Gray, 1839) is a most common species of gastropods in mangroves. They quickly respond during the early stage of mangrove restoration and usually form a dominant community within a certain period. We characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of the species. The whole mitogenome of L.

Neogastropod phylogenetic relationships based on entire mitochondrial genomes
Background The Neogastropoda is a highly diversified group of predatory marine snails (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda). Traditionally, its monophyly has been widely accepted based on several morphological synapomorphies mostly related with the digestive ...

The Serbian Lake System: a stepping stone for freshwater molluscs in the middle Miocene
Abstract The first in‐depth revision of a lacustrine freshwater mollusc fauna of the Serbian Lake System (SLS) is carried out. We describe and discuss well‐preserved faunas from two localities in central and southern Serbia (Mađere and Medoševac), along with the reinvestigation of type material of several species described in the late nineteenth and ...

Conservation and variation in mitochondrial genomes of gastropods Oncomelania hupensis and Tricula hortensis, intermediate host snails of Schistosoma in China [PDF]
The complete mitochondrial genomes of intermediate host snails for Schistosoma in China were sequenced, including the sub-species Oncomelania hupensis hupensis in two types, and O.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Euspira gilva with phylogenetic analysis
Here, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of Euspira gilva (Littorinimorpha: Naticidae). The complete mitochondrial genome is circular and 16,119 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer ...

Redescription and designation of a neotype for Caecum floridanum (Littorinimorpha, Truncatelloidea, Caecidae) with a characterization of the protoconch and growth stages [PDF]
After an extensive search for the type specimens of Caecum floridanum Stimpson, 1851, we believe that these specimens may have been either lost or destroyed in the Chicago fire (1871). This paper presents a redescription of the species and a neotype is designated based on material from the type locality (Florida). Protoconch and growth stages of Caecum

Littorinimorpha Golikov & Starobogatov 1975
Order Littorinimorpha Superfamily Truncatelloidea Remarks. The superfamily Rissooidea was previously used to include Tateidae and related families, but Criscione & Ponder (2013) have shown that the Rissooidea and Truncatelloidea should be recognised as two separate superfamilies, with the former containing only a few marine families.
