Abstract

Background: Slow-migrating gastropods are key indicators of habitat continuity, i.e. areas of relatively long-term ecological stability. The gastropod genus Cochlostoma (Architaenioglossa, Cochlostomatidae) is a common and widespread component of karst communities throughout the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. Recent work has taken into account genetic and reproductive-anatomical diversity and has revealed that the uniform shell morphology hides surprisingly rich and deep divergences.

New information: Here, we describe two species of the subgenus Turritus, C. (Turritus) dobrido sp. nov. and C. (Turritus) komarnica sp. nov. They were collected, studied and described as part of citizen-science expeditions to the threatened Komarnica Canyon and to Durmitor National Park, two adjoining regions in Montenegro. The new species were found sympatrically and, in some cases, syntopically with Cochlostoma scalariniforme (A. J. Wagner, 1906), as well as with each other.

标题黑山北部Durmitor和Komarnica地区Cochlostoma二新种（caenogastro足目，Cochlostomatidae）。

背景：迁徙缓慢的腹足类动物是生境连续性的关键指标，即相对长期的生态稳定性区域。腹足动物Cochlostoma （Architaenioglossa, Cochlostomatidae）是地中海周边国家喀斯特群落中常见而广泛的组成部分。最近的研究考虑了遗传和生殖解剖学的多样性，并揭示了统一的壳形态隐藏着惊人的丰富和深刻的差异。新信息：在这里，我们描述了两种Turritus亚属，C. (Turritus) dobrido sp. 11 .和C. (Turritus) komarnica sp. 11 .它们被收集，研究和描述为公民科学考察的一部分，这些考察是在黑山两个相邻地区的komarnica峡谷和Durmitor国家公园进行的。这些新种不仅与Cochlostoma scalariniforme （A. J. Wagner, 1906）共生，而且彼此共生。

期刊介绍： Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers. The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
