Helicarion Mastersi
''Helicarion mastersi'' is a species of air-breathing land snail, also referred to as a semi-slug because of its small shell. It is a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Helicarionidae. The specific name ''mastersi'' is in honor of the Australian malacologist George Masters (1837-1912), who collected the type specimen. Subspecies Subspecies include: * ''Helicarion mastersi callidus'' Iredale, 1941 * ''Helicarion mastersi mastersi'' (Cox, 1868) Distribution This species is found in New South Wales, Australia. The type locality is Kiama, New South Wales, Australia. Description ''Helicarion mastersi'' was originally described (under the name ''Vitrina mastersi'') by James Charles Cox in 1868. Cox's original text (the type description) reads as follows: Ecology This semislug lives in closed Eucalyptus forests. It is primarily an arboreal Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees. In habitats in which trees are present ...

Helicarionidae
Helicarionidae is a family of air-breathing land snails or semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicarionoidea. Distribution The distribution of Helicarionidae includes the eastern Palearctic, Malagasy, India, south-eastern Asia, Hawaii, and Australia. Anatomy Species of snails within this family make and use love darts made of chitin. In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 21 and 30 (according to the values in this table). Taxonomy The family Helicarionidae is nested within the limacoid clade, as shown in the following cladogram :Hausdorf B. (2000).

Mysticarion Porrectus
''Mysticarion porrectus'', also known as ''Helicarion porrectus'', is a tree-dwelling snail in the family Helicarionidae. It is endemic to Australia. This species occurs in and near rainforests at high altitude in eastern Australia. It is associated with Gondwana cool temperate rainforests, with trees such as Antarctic Beech, Sassafras and Pinkwood. ''Mysticarion porrectus'' is found between Mount Dromedary in south east New South Wales up the Great Dividing Range to Mount Superbus, 150 km south west of Brisbane, Queensland Description The shell of this snail species is very thin and transparent, so the brightly coloured internal organs are visible through it. The animal has a gland at the end of its tail which is thought to emit pheromones during courtship. The shell of this ''Mysticarion'' species is too small for the soft parts to completely retract into. This gastropod is what is referred to as a " semi-slug": through the course of evolution, the shell has be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pulmonate
Pulmonata or pulmonates, is an informal group (previously an order, and before that a subclass) of snails and slugs characterized by the ability to breathe air, by virtue of having a pallial lung instead of a gill, or gills. The group includes many land and freshwater families, and several marine families. The taxon Pulmonata as traditionally defined was found to be polyphyletic in a molecular study per Jörger ''et al.'', dating from 2010. Pulmonata are known from the Carboniferous Period to the present. Pulmonates have a single atrium and kidney, and a concentrated, symmetrical, nervous system. The mantle cavity is located on the right side of the body, and lacks gills, instead being converted into a vascularised lung. Most species have a shell, but no operculum, although the group does also include several shell-less slugs. Pulmonates are hermaphroditic, and some groups possess love darts. Linnean taxonomy The taxonomy of this group according to the taxonomy of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
